Cirl Bunting 01
Cirl
bunting
Emberiza cirlus
A very rare British bird found only
in Devon, especially around Prawle Point. It is the
continental version of the Yellowhammer (below), but to
me at least, more striking.

Corn Bunting 13

A very rare sight nowadays in the
UK. Usually easy to locate due to their obvious call,
but a careful approach is
required to get close, best
done from a car if possible

gardens, churchyards, cemeteries and other suburban locations
