female reed bunting Rosie (can look a bit pointy headed!)

It's a Reed Binting. A female I believe. I think they are able to raise their crown feathers when they are displaying, etc. It could also be due to the wind.

Get out of it Deborah! This was mine!!

remember that birds can raise or draw in their feathers, fluff them out etc at will, the shape of an individual bird can change! It is a reed bunting.

Funny you mention a 'crest' Rosie, when I first met Jason, I thought what a pointy head he had but he just hadn't combed his hair :'D
