Two fairly poor photos of something feeding on my patio - through glass and a distance away. Reed Bunting perchance?

You are right, Geoff, it's a male reed bunting. Watch out when it sits on a branch, it twitches its tail.
We used to get them regularly in the garden in colder winters, coming off the moor, when the food ran out up there, but now they are just occasional visitors in the village.

Thanks - I've never seen one before and we only enjoyed that one for 10 minutes. Also had Long Tailed Tits about an hour later that we only get in the garden a few times a year.
