Lovely photos, he's such a pretty, dainty little thing.
ReplyDeleteIt is, CJ. Where it is on 'tip toes' it was being spooked by a noisy camera in the hide.
DeleteHe looks like an inquisitive little chap. I'm not familiar with reed buntings but I think I'd recognise one now that I've seen your photos.
ReplyDeleteAs I replied to CJ a noisy camera was spooking him. The female has no black markings.
DeleteI would have mistakenly said that was some sort of Sparrow! I wonder if they have then around Fleet Pond, because there are certainly lots of reeds there.
ReplyDeleteLots of little brown birds (especially females)are mistaken for sparrows Mark
DeleteThey do look exactly like the things I thought were sparrows.
ReplyDeleteEasily done Patsy especially from a distance,
DeleteBeautiful bird, we had a female chick in the rescue last year, it was released which was great, they are such interesting little birds.xxx
ReplyDeleteIn some ways I envy you getting up close to the animals, Dina but not when I see the injuries you deal with.
DeleteGreat photos ~ lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are Jessica, There are three different individuals in the photos and were more but no femalesm
DeleteGreat shots Sue - lovely little bird. ~We had a yellowhammer in the garden the other day - the first one we've seen for years.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elaine - the yellowhammers weren't co-operative
Deletelike this one
Our buntings (at least the two that I am familiar with) look very different from yours. One is the snow bunting which only visit in winter and the indigo bunting, probably our most exotic looking bird.
ReplyDeleteSnow buntings do occur in the UK Alain being more widespread in winter, They are resident in the far north east of Scotland. I'd never heard of an indigo bunting so looked them up and it really is a striking bird.
DeleteGreat photos Sue.. he's a lovely looking bird :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie, some were in transition into full male breeding plumage when the head and chest is a very pronounced black.
DeleteGreat looking bird!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is, David
