A little splash of colour among the reeds 🌾🐦
Meet the Reed Bunting — a small farmland and wetland bird with a big personality. Males are easy to spot in breeding season thanks to their striking black head and white collar, while females have a more subtle streaky brown appearance.
✨ Quick Reed Bunting facts:
• They thrive in reedbeds, marshes, and wetlands.
• Their diet changes with the seasons — seeds in winter, insects in spring and summer.
• Males sing from prominent perches to defend their territory.
• Once common across the UK, they are now a species of conservation concern due to habitat loss.
A privilege to watch and photograph this beautiful little bird in its natural habitat. 📸
