Look no 'feather'. Reed bunting

Brown, sleek, sharp and always dressed to impress—say hello to the reed bunting! With their jet-black heads, white collars and dapper 'moustache,' males cut quite the figure. Despite their name, reed buntings can also be found on farmland and in wetlands across Europe. Their melodious tunes aren't just for show—they're part of an elaborate courtship display. Monogamy with biparental care is the main mating system for the species. While these birds may seem common and they are listed as 'least concern' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, their population is shown to be declining. Next time you're out birdwatching, keep an eye—and ear—out for them.
