Corn Bunting Emberiza/Miliaria calandra

The Corn Bunting is a small bird but large for a bunting. It is prevalent through much of southern and eastern Europe, the Canary Islands, North Africa and through to Central Asia.

The male Corn Bunting will sing from a high perch to declare his territory and is often polygamous.
