Common Reed Bunting (male)

Off this afternoon for a wee jaunt with Andrew. We were hoping to spot marsh harriers but they didn’t show. However this little reed bunting posed momentarily for us on the edge of the reed beds.
Again we managed to get back to the car in the nick of time before the heavens opened. I have only seen a couple of lightning flashes and heard three or four grumbles of thunder. Chloe was unimpressed by the thunder and tried to shout it down!
P.S. Happy Birthday America!
