Résumé :	Studies were carried out between 1994 and 2004 in a plot of 60,000 square metres in the moors near the village of Betzigau (47 degrees 45' N, 10 degrees 23' E; Bavaria, Germany). Territories of between four and eight breeding pairs of Reed Bunting were mapped, nests were searched for and young were individually colour-ringed. In late summer and autumn Reed Buntings trapped with nylon nets were similarly ringed. Data were collected on population density and size of territories, nest parameters, clutch and egg sizes, timing and duration of breeding and of rearing up to fledging, breeding success and the causes of losses. Measurements such as wing length and body mass were taken, and phenological data on return to previous breeding place, song period and migration were gathered.
