Corn Bunting

My latest U3A bird watching meeting was at Lodge Hill.  Here we managed to see 2-3 Wheatears, a Whinchat, 3 Stonechats, a few Yellowhammers, 2 Ravens, a Sparrowhawk and quite a few other commoner species.  This Corn Bunting was obliging in that it let me move around to a position of good light without flying off.  A nice bird to get these days as they are few and far between in Bucks.

One other bird that we failed to see was a bird calling from along a hedgerow to the SE of Lodge Hill.  It sounded very much like a Wryneck but despite a look in the area it could not be located.  Unfortunately time was rather limited.  So the one that got away!
