Even more buntings

I've been super busy throughout the month, so there was no chance for me to go birding at all after the short trip to Tadewara marsh on June 8th. The weather has also become worse. I think it didn't stop raining for almost 2 weeks. Anyway, so here's some more photos of the tame Chestnut-eared Buntings from my last visit to Tadewara. Most of the male birds were still quite actively singing unlike the Meadow Buntings which seemed to be already busy finding food for the chicks.

This one was really close

This was one of male birds outside the board walk area. They were much shyer.

  3. Some nice shots there...............

    Sorry to hear about your rain. It hasn't rained at all up here the last 4 or 5 weeks (well maybe only 1 day)......................just a shame I've been too lazy to do anything.
