Exciting day bird-wise. An Ortolan Bunting was reported at East Devon Golf Club so three of us headed there. After 90 minutes of studying a hedge, it was spotted! Brief but good views. A new species for me so happy times! Thanks to Mark who spotted it and let us view through his ‘scope (pretty difficult to describe location (“It’s in the hedge!!!!”)).
