The Meadow Bunting is a common and widespread bunting species found across East Asia. It is characterized by its distinctive facial patterns, including a white supercilium and moustachial stripe.
Where to spot
Widespread across East Asia, including Russia, China, Korea, and Japan. Inhabits open woodlands, scrubland, farmland, and riparian areas.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on the ground or singing from low perches. The distinct facial pattern (white eyebrow, dark eye-line, and moustachial stripe) is a key identification feature.
When to spot
Resident year-round in much of its range. Males are most conspicuous and vocal during the breeding season (spring and summer).

This adaptable bunting often nests on the ground, well-hidden in dense vegetation, but sings from exposed perches.
