Wow! That's some garden bird. Great shot. Is that millet seed in the feeder?

Bit of a cheat really, the feeders were just outside the hide window, didn't have to try too hard!  |

No Mungo, it was taken from the James hide at Amwell. Been thinking about a garden hide though... |

Last year when I visited Amwell I was amazed at the number of Reed Buntings coming to seed- the largest flock I'd ever seen. At least 50 birds + probably nearer 80+ as birds were coming + going the whole time. |

My neighbour had a pair of RB's on her garden feeders last year  We watched them for quite some time. I think she just had basic mixed seed in the one they were feeding from.
