Marden Meadow - still not close enough (a fairly heavy crop), but much better light.

Marden Meadow - one from a couple of days ago. Been trying for Yellowhammers again today, got a few images but yet again this guy was more approachable. I noticed he has a ring, as does one of the Yellowhammers, no ringing is done on the reserve.

Marden Meadow - 3 or 4 of these seen, but not so obliging as the Reed Bunting, so shots are more distant. I'm pretty sure this pair have a nest, hard to see from this image, but it has an insect which it flew down with.

Marden Meadow - having been watching Springwatch, the main target was Yellowhammers. However there were at least 2 of these males and they were more obliging than the Yellowhammers. Just a shame the sky wasn't blue until later in the afternoon!
