Reed Bunting

Emberiza schoeniclus

The Reed Bunting is a small passerine bird found in Europe and Asia. It is characterized by its streaked brown plumage, with the male having a black head and throat, and the female having a streaked head. Reed Buntings are often found in wetland habitats such as marshes, reedbeds, and wet meadows, where they forage for seeds and insects. They build their cup-shaped nests low in vegetation near water. This species is not considered globally threatened, but local populations may be affected by habitat loss and degradation.
