reed bunting

A trip to Carsington yesterday was very disappointing except for this Reed Bunting, which is a First for me. I thought at a glance that it was a sparrow, but was delighted when it was not.

Well Peeps, Its an early post and run from me...If it gets out OK, I'm off to Pett Level and Rye Harbour. So see y'all later.
