Can anybody help me identify this bird please

Hi there I was walking today in some farmlands near the Clayton windmills hassocks today and came across this bird. It was with another identical bird sitting on some haybale. I'm not sure if it is bunting or some type of warbler. Would love to know. Thank you.

  • Hi Bagpuss, it's a Wheatear sitting appropriate enough on what looks a bale of wheat straw. However, that's not how it got its name. You'll have to look it up because the derivation is rather vulgar and has to do with its white rump when it flies.
