Corn Bunting

During a warm and sunny dog walk tonight at Totternhoe NR I found some lovely Orchids and other wild fauna plus a cracking pair of Corn Buntings.

Also on site tonight Skylark, Blackcap, Whitethroat, Wren, Dunnock, Stock Dove, Wood Pidgeon, Magpie, Crow, Song Thrush, Blackbird.

Sadly after many visits this year so far no Turtle Doves seen or heard!!!

Corn Bunting, Biggleswade Common, 2nd April 2015

Had a lovely morning at the Lodge Sandy today, plenty to see the Cuckoo was a bit flighty but still showed quite well, alas I couldn't find the Spotted Flycatchers but ran into some other beauties especially the Wren, they are all very vocal at the moment. I enclose a few photo's of the morning now I am back up and running with my Camera and lens after my recent disaster.

Corn Bunting, Broom GP, 5th May 2013

Dived into Streatley in my lunch break today to try and catch up with the Great Grey Shrike, sadly I walked the loop from the Swiss cottages but absolutely no sign. Never mind I will try again over the weekend. I did however run into Yellowhammer, Read and Corn Bunting, Red Kite, Fieldfare, Skylark and a Pied Wagtail

Corn Bunting, Meadow Pipit and Skylark

These three are nesting very close to each other in a field in south Beds, the CB about 20 mtrs in to a cereal crop. All are now feeding young.

Great sight to see so many buntings, the air was full of their calls. And the merlin kept them moving about on quite a few occasions, great to watch the dogfights.
