So the other week when I was at Martin Mere, I made the walk out of the reserve to an area where they were supposed to be. I got good directions and my luck was in. Singing from the top of a tree, there he was. An unusual song. It made a few fluttering flights, almost Pipit/Skylark like and returned.
This one Corn Bunting put a smile on my face, and put my year list at 160.
Nice little bird - and one that I never saw. I'm sure you will have a great time on the Farne Islands - take more memory cards and longer lenses! (I'm also sure you know this, but Puffins are not as large as most people think, so more lens is always good!)

A great capture, Adam! His striped front is a bit like our House Sparrow.
