Looks more like a female Reed Bunting to me Tich, but I could be wrong. Think the bill is too stubby for any kind of Pipit

Looks about right, but I'm not sure on the dark wing edges ... however, I'll sit on the fence till someone with more knowledge 'pips' in.

Certainly looks like a female Reed Bunting to me!... dark patch under chin, short stubby bill and prominent cream stripe over eye 
I've had a male visit my garden for the last 2 weeks now (a new one for me! ) but still waiting for him to bring his girlfriend lol!

Thanks fellas - I can see now that it is a female Reed Bunting - it was the streaks on the breast that put me off - couldn't see those in the book pic. I am trying - very! |
