Corn Bunting

Corn Buntings an often be seen perched prominently on a hedge, post or wire singing their jangling song. In the summer corn buntings prefer open farmland but in winter they may be found in stubbles and weedy fields and in cattle yards or stockyards.
The Corn Bunting has experienced a dramatic population decline in the UK and therefore it is a Red List species.
