The more I stare at this, the more confused I get.

So I am looking for some help with this.

Female reed bunting (66% certain)

33% = overall colouration looks right
33% = has the bunting 'chin strap'

- 33% = eyestripe looks a bit heavy. Might be the angle.
- 1% = I'm never certain of anything.

Yeah, it is. I didn't think of that which is a bit duh as I had just spotted this a few minutes earlier.

Lovely pair of reed buntings.

Thanks, shame I didn't get a decent shot of the female but as they say, next time...

Super birds to see Peter! Hope you put them on your year list?

Oh yes, they were one of 10 I put on today. The weather was gorgeous, if cold, so I visited two local haunts.

This image I am looking at is a female Reed Bunting

Probably the same image everyone else was looking at too?

There is a second shot in this thread which shows the male.

Having trouble seeing peters images on both his posts, No snipe on my pc now, and no male bunting.
