A flock of 50 Corn Buntings is quite a rare sight these days, but there is one close to where I work. The air was filled with the sound of `jangling keys` as males were competing for territory on a beautiful Spring day. Hopefully this year there will be lots of successful fledging of young `stubble larks` and the species will take a step in the right direction.
Below is a short video of one male Corn Bunting singing. Hopefully you will hear the `jangle of keys` in the song!
All photo`s and video are digiscoped using Lumix FS15 and Kowa TSN-883 x30
That sky looks impossibly blue and makes a lovely backdrop to a beautiful song!

Hi bazza,
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better (in my opinion) than watching and hearing birds on a Spring day when there is not a cloud in the sky!
I am glad I am not the only one who thinks the song of the Corn Bunting is beautiful!

Lucky boy ... I haven't seen one in Surrey for many years.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots and great to hear its song.
ReplyDeleteHi Frank,
ReplyDeleteIt`s unusual for me to see so many in one place, maybe it`s a sign of things to come. Let`s hope so!
