Reed Bunting

One local site that I recently discovered this summer near the village of Frisby on the Wreake are the Frisby fishing lakes. These lakes are old gravel workings and have since become a great place for wildlife. The reed lined edges are particularly good for dragonflies and damselflies, which in turn attract reed warblers and reed buntings. The following photo's of a reed bunting were taken on my first visit.
