Reed Bunting
The Reed Bunting is a sparrow-sized but slimmer and with a long, deeply notched tail. The male has a black head, white collar and a drooping “moustache”. Females and winter males are browner and have a streaked head. In flight the tail looks black with broad, white edges.
When singing, the male can usually be seen perched on top of a bush or reed.
Reed Buntings can be found all year round in the UK, typically in areas of wet vegetation but also farmland and gardens in winter.
