Corn Bunting
The Corn Bunting is a rather non-descript stout and dumpy brown bird which is the largest of the bunting family.
The Corn Bunting breeds across southern and central Europe, north Africa and Asia across to Kazahkstan. It is mainly resident but some birds from the colder regions of central Europe and Asia migrate southwards in winter.
The Corn Bunting is a bird of open country with trees such as farmland and weedy wasteland. It has declined greatly in north west Europe due to intensive agricultural practices depriving it of its food supply of weed seeds and insects, the latter especially when feeding young.
