A reed bunting perched in a tree. The tree has new young green leaves and the branches are covered in a yellow lichen.

From the RSPB -

Reed Buntings are sparrow-sized but slim, with a deeply notched tail. The male has a black head, white collar and a drooping moustache. Females and winter males have a streaked head. In flight, the tail looks black with broad, white edges.

A great tit standing on a fence post, body forward but facing to the left. 

From The Wildlife Trusts - 

The great tit is a familiar garden bird with a black head, white cheeks, green back, yellow belly and black stripe down its breast.

A smart little fella for #BirdOfTheDay theme #BlackHeads.

When I started birding, I learned to tell great tits apart from coal tits and marsh tits by the black stripe going down the chest that looks like a tie.

Now I always think of them as little businessmen πŸ‘”

A photo of a common kestrel against a blurred reed bed. 

From The Wildlife Trusts -

Kestrels are typically seen hovering, their pointed wings held out. Males have a grey head and tail with a prominent black band, a gingery-brown back and a creamy underside which is speckled with black. Females are similar, but with a more uniform brown back and dark bands on the tail.

A kestrel showcasing his beautiful rusty plumage.

Kestrels actually have stiffer feathers compared to other falcons, allowing for their signature hovering behaviour.

This drake Lesser Scaup was at nearby College Lake and a first for Buckinghamshire. It showed well all day and kept everyone happy as it has been a long wait for one.
