Corn Bunting at Hingham, Norfolk
The Corn Bunting is now a very rare bird in Breckland, therefore, imagine my surprise when birding near Hingham, Norfolk, and found a single Corn Bunting in association with other Finches and Buntings on winter feed 29th January. I was quite amazed to find a Corn Bunting again, perched on the same bush nearly a month later on 23rd February.

Noticeably different in appearance than commoner Buntings by its thickset size, heavy bill, all brownish plumage with streaks on the breast meeting to form a dark spot, a classic feature of this species.
