A medium-sized bunting primarily found in Western Europe, known for the male's distinctive lemon-yellow and black head pattern. It prefers warm, temperate climates and is often found in hedgerows and scrub.
Where to spot
Primarily found in Western and Southern Europe, extending into North Africa. Look for it in agricultural areas, orchards, vineyards, and coastal scrub with scattered trees.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive monotonous, repetitive song, often described as a rapid, metallic trill. Look for males perched prominently on bushes, hedgerows, or wires, especially in sunny conditions.
When to spot
Year-round in its resident range. The breeding season, when males are most vocal and conspicuous, runs from spring to late summer (typically April-August).

The Cirl Bunting is one of the few European passerine species that can successfully raise two or even three broods in a single breeding season, aided by its mild climate preference.
