| | | Corn Bunting ?
Sorry about the poor quality, heavily cropped image. I saw this bird on a hedge between a sheep pasture and a field of young corn, at the foot of the Chilterns in Bucks, today. I think it's a Corn Bunting (I've seen them nearby before), but thought I'd better check. |

I agree it's got the build of the Corn bunting and the typical thick set beak as well. |

Thank you all very much!
I don't see them very often, but I thought that was what it was. It's certainly another first for the year. |
