That's a good count of Reed Buntings, Tim.
I don't remember them gathering in such flocks years ago, though there were also 24 in November 2005
at Gorple. Seems to be a trend.

Rishworth Moor's pretty good year round for Reed Bunting Steve. BTO web site's always querying my numbers when I input them!
