Rustic Bunting
A first-winter male Rustic Bunting at Thursley Common - Surrey. A rarity in Britain, this bird has been wintering on Thursley Common for several weeks along with several other members of its genus; mainly Reed Buntings but including an equally rare Little Bunting!
A very skulking bird to photograph as it kept hidden for most of the time only emerging for a short period, although the lighting conditions hardly helped!
