Reed Bunting - Emberiza schoeniculus
I managed to get some foreign birding in last week - the UK. I sped down to Barn Elms one morning from the City when on a business trip. I have a good UK list in general terms but actually have not taken so many pictures of birds there. Armed with the new camera then pretty much everything becomes fair game.
This Reed Bunting is a male bird - the call is quite monotonous and doleful which belies its overall more "chirpy" appearance. There are extensive reed beds at Barn Elms WWT. These birds are widespread around Europe next to any wetland/river or so on.
