Little Bunting. Langford Lowfields RSPB, Newark, Nottinghamshire. DSC_6834.jpg
The little bunting breeds across the taiga of the far north-east of Europe and northern Eurosiberia to the Russian Far East. It is migratory, wintering in the subtropics in northern India, southern China and the northern parts of south-east Asia.[3] The birds remain in their winter quarters for quite long; specimens were taken in Yunnan in late March.[5] It is a rare vagrant to western Europe (Wiki).
Only showed 3 times, pretty briefly but once it did appear in the nearest hedge tree, otherwise, further back along the hedge at the limit of effective range. Inevitably a very twiggy shot and it only sat facing front, but great to see it in some decent light.
Thank you for your faves and comments
