More From The Garden

A little quieter than yesterday, despite a screeching pass of a Peregrine over Monty around 10am.  Still plenty of Fieldfare about.  We had a new bird in the garden, I believe its a female male Reed Bunting (thanks Brian!); record shot taken through the kitchen window at a distance.

  1. You have a male Reed Bunting in winter plumage Edward, well worth a shot through the window.

  2. Thanks Brian! The post has been updated. I've been studying the bird identifier book, and the most striking difference appears to be that the female has a white stripe going from the eye to the back of the head, whereas the male doesn't in winter plumage.
