Monday, April 17, 2006 - Corn Buntings in North Bucks |
Decided against a long walks up hills this morning in favour of checking out some arable farmland.
First place was a total disappointment with nowhere sensible to park, and not much to be seen either.
Second stop however, was pretty good. Easy to park, nice footpath with plenty of fields and bushes to scope.
A Male Redstart was in bushes near the path, and the area held a small number of Corn Buntings. This is a bird I was hoping to find this spring, as they are fairly scarce in the North of Buckinghamshire. Saw 3 birds singing, and will hopefully return for a more extensive count. Footpath also looked promising a bit further on which I was unable to check out today due to locking myself out of my car, and having to wait within sight of the car until a breakdown truck came to help me out. |
