Reed Buntings, Brockholes, Lancashire

June 2010:
Birdwise, things seem rather quite at the moment with many birds nesting or feeding young and the migrants yet to come. At Brockholes the reed beds surrounding the main lake hold several pairs of nesting Reed Buntings. One female, when taking a break from maternal duties, decided to perch obligingly close, although a male was more reticent.
