A rather plain-looking but distinctive large bunting, known for its streaky brown plumage and a characteristic 'jangling keys' song. It typically inhabits open farmland and grasslands.
Where to spot
Widespread across Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, preferring open agricultural land, grasslands, and heathland with scattered perches.
How to spot
Look for them perched conspicuously on wires, fences, or tall vegetation, delivering their jingling song. Their stout bill and overall streaky brown appearance are key identifiers.
When to spot
Year-round resident in most of its range; males are most vocal and easily located during the breeding season (spring to early summer), when they sing prominently.

Male Corn Buntings are highly polygynous, often mating with multiple females during a single breeding season, which is an unusual breeding strategy among European passerines.
