Default A Couple for Confirmation
Saw these today and not certain if my ID is right:

Is this a Stonechat?


Are both of these female Reed Buntings? there were 7 in the same tree
They looked much bigger (fluffier) than the Chaffinches they were with

I suspect you mean Reed Buntings rather than Reed Warblers, in which case yes and yes!

Top bird is a male Stonechat, bottom two are (female or winter plumage) reed buntings, not reed warblers.

The "keep out"bird is a male Stonechat (and a very nice bird too) the others seem to be Reed Buntings
