[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Milliaria calandra, Corn Bunting
This is an unusual bunting because the sexes appear similar in plumage, although the males are approximately 20% larger than females. This large bulky bunting is 16-19cm long, has male and female plumages similar, and lacks the showy male colours, especially on the head, common in the genus Emberiza. Both sexes look something like larks, with streaked grey-brown above, and whitish underparts.

Hi Jozsef,
a really difficult catch, Corn buntings don't sit around on posts but hide a lot in the grass and in bushes. You did an excellent job here and probably had to be patient too. All the deails and the fine grey tones are there. The tail is cutoff, that is no surprise, they are nervous buggers, those buntings.
Best regards
Dietrich

Hello Jozsef,
A fine capture of a Corn Bunting, a bird not easy to approach. The head and upper part of the body were taken with fine sharpness and colours with a nice catchlight in the eye in natural surroundings.
Thanks and best wishes,
Ivan

Hello Jozsef,
Your bird among reeds look very nicely. Sharpness is exact on bird, perfect sharpness, clear colours. I've never seen this species in my countryside enough close.
