Brighouse Garden
Been in my garden since 1400 can someone give me a positive id 3 photos enclosed more if required many thanks
Just spotted the Calderdale Birds blog today so logged in. Saw the photos (great pics by the way) and the comments on the female Reed Bunting - we get one or two Reed Buntings in our garden quite often (we back onto fields up by Stoodley Pike)and they are usually males. Maybe we can start a dating agency to get the females and males together?!
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

It appears to be a female Reed Bunting, Mike. A pretty unusual record for a Brighouse garden !
Can you direct it up to Hove Edge ????
Thanks Mike ,Its up on Stratton Rd and flew off at 1645 its been eating seed and suet all afternoon.
Shame it wasn't a Little Bunting!
Great photo's Mike, we get an occassional Reed Bunting up on Widdop Rd above Hebden Bridge and like yours always seems to be a female.
