Emberiza calandra is only found in just over 10% of Sussex tetrads and it is a Red-listed bird but still around (this one at #BirlingGap), Once known as the Common Bunting (Bunting being a name going back hundreds of years) and known for its ‘jangling keys’ song.

A fresh and foggy visit to the Willoughby Fields today got me Ring-necked Parakeet, Kingfisher, White Wagtail, Rook, Chaffinch and a nice encounter with a very vocal Firecrest.

A male Stonechat rearranging feathers to spruce himself up in the sunshine earlier this week down on the Sussex coast. Not so sunny for a @sussexornitholo.bsky.social outing there today though but hopefully still good birds.
