Reed Bunting singing

Emberiza schoeniclus. Here’s a male in summer plumage singing, although it’s not the most inspiring of songsters. The black hood of the breeding plumage is hidden by pale tip to the feathers which break off in the spring to reveal the black hood. You can just see a few of pale tips remaining. Taken at St Aidans’s RSPB, near Leeds, West Yorkshire.
