Looks like one of the Asian buntings - ? fem Black-faced or even Pallas' Reed Bunt (but what do I know?) !
Phil Hyde   [Dec 16, 2009 at 10:26 PM]
Where is it by the way ?
Phil Hyde   [Dec 16, 2009 at 10:28 PM]
I quickly retract those comments !

Odd rufous Reed Bunting

another in the odd rufous reed bunting camp here

it seemed to me that the head pattern, not just the colour and the bill shape, grey shawl and fine breast streaking seemed at odds with a British Reed Bunting; could it be from the eastern end of the range or even another race?

and why are the lateral crown feathers and the lines on the ear coverts rufous rather black blackish

the variant illustrated in bwp is not too disimilar
Paul French   [Dec 20, 2009 at 07:29 PM]
I saw a bird very similar to this at Frampton last winter. As far as i know, most of the eastern races should show a convex culman and perhaps be a touch more pallid/buffy generally. Martin Garner did an article on a bird in Northern Ireland a few years ago, but don't have the reference to hand.

All images on the Wildlife Album are taken in Lincolnshire, for further information on Lincolnshire Birds, see http://www.lincsbirdclub.co.uk . The terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act must be observed and licences obtained to photograph Schedule 1 species from the appropriate Statutory Nature Conservation Agency. The Lincsbirds photo Album does not encourage images of rare birds taken at the nest or with young - a copy of the appropriate licences must be available, otherwise your image will be removed.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
