Black-headed Bunting

Black-headed Bunting - East Macedonia and Thrace
The Black-headed Bunting is a member of the bunting family but larger and longer tailed than the Reed Bunting. The breeding male has bright yellow underparts, chestnut upperparts and a black hood. The female is a washed-out version of the male with paler underparts, a grey-brown back and a greyish head.

The Black-headed Bunting breeds in open scrubby areas including agricultural land from south east Europe to central Asia. The wintering grounds are mainly in India although vagrants have been found wintering as far east as Japan, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Laos, South Korea and Malaysia. Summer vagrants may occur as far north in Europe as Norway.
