Emberiza schoeniclus
when singing the male usually perches on to of a reed or bush, the wind was blowing in the second photo so it makes it look as if he has a very regal ruff or collar! similar size to a sparrow and listed as amber status in Britain due to habitat loss.
seen at Rutland waters nature reserve.

Thanks once again Jemma, I suppose you can see all of him better in photo 2 so i'll switch it round :-)
Fantastic spotting, the second pic should be your cover, such a cool guy!
cute beak.
