A really quick bit of blogging today by way of an update to yesterday's post. I was out this lunchtime determined to find at least one Yellow Wagtail and a Corn Bunting if possible as I had not caught up with either species so far this year. In the local vernacular I was 'well pleased' as both species were hanging around together in a nice quiet spot in the country due to local road closures. Some quick snapshot photos and an earful of that fantastic jangly key sound from the Corn Bunting and I was done.
So here are a couple of photos of these two birds from this lunchtime:

These were taken near to Barton-in-Fabis in the south of Nottinghamshire. They were in the only bit of the area that has not been dug-up to make way for a twelve lane motorway or a new Tram-line link to Nottingham. They'll be gone soon no doubt due to habitat loss. The Corn Bunting seem to be on the way out already...but that's another story.
