Reed Bunting
 (Emberiza schoeniclus)
Please click on the image to view the clip

As I watched over Neumanns Flash at the weekend from one of the hides a Reed Bunting landed on the branch of a sapling right in front of me. It was very windy but he hung on to his perch long enough for me to get a clip.
The clip below is my out take... but I just had to show it.

"Ride 'em cowboy"... yee-hah!!!

    Great videos, Andrew, this one and the one of the tern colony. Love the comparison with the bird riding a bucking horse!

    Rodeo Riding! Very funny! :-)

    It seems uploading photos is not an easy task for many of us in the last couple of days!

    My goodness, that was windy!! Such a smart bird I always think. Smart in the other sense too, in that it managed to hang on to the bucking bronco :)
