Reed Bunting

The Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus)

I found these two males on seed feeders in the Parkland. 
Unfortunately they are not in their best plumage as yet.

    No doubt they'll soon be 'showing' at their very best Roy...[;o)

    Hello Roy,
    I never really met this bird, maybe one day!
    Very nice shot!

    Bye

    Great to see Roy, who puts the food out?
    ( the Flowering Larch I found at the park is a Japanese Larch, photos here. )http://huntingtrees.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/larch.html

      The food is put out by the Parkland maintenance staff Amanda.
      Wow! the Larch photos are lovely.

    "Not in their best plumage", but still, they are gorgeous!
    I have never seen them!
    Well done Roy!

    I've been watching Reed Buntings many times over the past year, but I've never seen one on a feeder. Terrific photos of them, Roy.
