Hooray! The reed buntings have returned!

Mrs Reed spotted in the garden yesterday, and Mr Reed has just been sighted on the patio. I hope they stick around for the garden birdwatch!

regards owl.

That's great Maise. Do you live out in the country, by the way. I would of thought that going by it's name, you would be more likely to find them in the reed beds.

Edge of town. There's a large bit of grass behind us which gets waterlogged and has reedy type plants in.

When I lived in Essex they were regulars in the garden. Quite a surprise when we first moved in. That was a town garden about three quarters of a mile from open country.

Thoroughly rubbish photo but it proves the presence of 4 Mr Reeds. Shame I wasn't able to get the five that were around later on in one shot.
