Here in East Devon the amount of stubble in particular is quite daunting and to think I have had 11 Cirls, 1 Corn Bunting and a Lap Bunt in such a small area and short time does make you wonder what is really out there! Perseverance will no doubt pay off in Dorset! Fingers crossed for 2015.Chris Townend (Jaffa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13017435496784035951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308216304300839969.post-67307194187766224692014-12-29T22:47:50.381+00:002014-12-29T22:47:50.381+00:00Very interesting stuff Chris, certainly to a Dorse...Very interesting stuff Chris, certainly to a Dorset birder like me. As you well know CB a monstrous rarity in Dorset. Two recent sightings at West Bexington and Cogden Beach may not have related to the same bird? (week apart). There was a sighting a few years ago behind the beach at Abbotsbury as well. I spent some time looking at Cogden at the weekend but the amount of suitable habitat is astonishing and I saw nowt. This species obviously likes the habitat in this area and I cannot believe they won't become more permanent here eventually; your sighting gives us hope!Bomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180639901424288956noreply@blogger.com
