CIRL BUNTING

ON FRIDAY WE WENT LOOKING FOR CIRL BUNTING AND WE WERE 
NOT DISAPPOINTED. THERE WERE MORE THAN WE 
HAVE EVER SEEN OF THIS VERY PRETTY BIRD.
A GOOD RESULT FOR THE CONSERVATION EFFORT.

  1. Great to hear of the relative abundance. Would have been a lifer for me so I would have very much enjoyed being along with you. At least I get to enjoy it via the pictures. Great job!

  2. I've only seen them once in Devon but it was a memorable sight to see. Looks like you had good views and a nice set of images too.

  3. A super set of images, John, and I'm delighted to hear that these birds seem to be doing well. For me, the female is prettier than the male, although not so strikingly marked.

    with my best wishes to you both - - - Richard
