Yes
Thought it was a hedge sparrow but it was in a flock of maybe 30 or 40 birds. Thankyou, Russ.What is it copy.jpg
 
Looks like one of the Buntings?
 
It is a corn bunting, just getting into bird photography and I identified it with a little app called Merlin, it is free and rather good in my opinion.
 
If you have a smart phone you can get a brilliant bird identifier app called Merlin someone on Skomer told me about it :)(y)
 
Yep - corn bunting. The 'moustachial stripe' - coming from the beak under the cheek - is a typical bunting feature.

Thanks for the heads up about Merlin...... installed and IMO a worthwhile addition on the phone.

PS especially as it has geographic database lists you can install.
