Here is today’s Country Diary in the Guardian. A little piece about reed buntings. I discovered the marvels of Donnybrewer while I was doing my PhD some years back. It was one of my favourite fieldwork sites, thanks to these gorgeous and amazing little birds, as well as the beauty of the landscape and waterscapes. What we don’t know about other species is our loss, but I am so thankful that during my research I learned about how complex and informative the messages contained in reed bunting song actually are.
