Down Duchess again.21-05-17

A morning walk down to 
Duchess Pond

Produced 3 birds I'm not 
sure about.
First a Green Finch 
I think.
Seems a bit motley.
 Definitely a
Reed Bunting 
 The Reed Warbler
loves posing for the camera.
 Another one I'm unsure about
a Warbler
but which one?
 Juvenile Gold Finch 
 Juvenile Blachbird
 Yet again
one I'm unsure of.
Sploggy yellowie green
 Another view
