| | | Two birds.
Hi,
I came across this website and thought it would be an excellent place to start getting my birds identified. These two were taken at long range at Keyhaven today (apologies for not so good photos).  
I almost thought the first was a Little Bunting but the yellow collar is not present in that species and I now think it is a juvenile Reed Bunting as many adults were present. I think the second is a Reed Warbler. |

the first is a female Reed Bunting
the second a female/imm Common Whitethroat

Thanks for the I.D.s, I am not very familiar with females or immatures. I never expected a C. Whitethroat. |

Yep, they're two birds I often see when walking along the paths at Keyhaven and they frequently leave people stumped! Did you see much whilst there? |

I did see quite a bit, considering I was walking the Cycle path instead of the seaside one. (I intended on the Solent trail...apparently Avocets frequently hang around on that route). I saw about 8 male Reed Buntings, about 15 juv. Goldfinches in a thistle field and heard a Reed Warbler (never saw it). Apart from that it was Robins, Wrens and Blackbirds. (Wren is the no.1 hardest to see bird, I have gone 10 years without even glimpsing one. Even Sedge Warblers were kinder than that.) | | |
