birds around us - whinchat and reed bunting

Whinchat (Saxicola rubetra)
Common reed bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus)

These birds the size of a sparrow and like feathered live in the same environment. Favourite places with us is reeds near the river. The easiest way to observe them at the beginning of wiosny.Z distance, it is difficult to distinguish them. There is a clear sexual dimorphism, and as always easier to recognize male who is more colored with. I could not photograph the reed bunting and using the photographs Ivan Czernatkina from Chelyabinsk.
