North Hokkaido Summer 2017 #5

A male Reed Bunting from last week.....................


There were a couple of tames ones on the grassland we visited...............

I remember the first one of these I ever saw. It was alongside a canal somewhere north of Preston.

I also remember one coming to the bird table in my parents garden. Must have been almost 40 years ago now..............

Black-faced Buntings were also common in the same area.............
