Bunting

"Quick, quick Greg", called Cathy, "...there's a strange bird in the back garden".  

Although I raced to the window with a camera, I was too late to catch sight of what was probably a female pheasant from its description.  So here instead is a male reed bunting.  

I'm still busy processing the photos that I took in the Lakes.  Despite the very wet and gloomy conditions I've ended up with more than I thought I might.
