    This very obliging bittern took up residence at Slimbridge (Gloucestershire) in January 2007. Four reliable places to see the Bittern is at Fishers Pool in the Lee Valley (Essex), Leighton Moss (Lancashire), Minsmere (Norfolk) and Upton Warren (Worcestershire).

    Cirl Bunting 01
    Cirl bunting Emberiza cirlus
    A very rare British bird found only in Devon, especially around Prawle Point. It is the continental version of the Yellowhammer (below), but to me at least, more striking.

    Corn bunting Miliaria calandra
    A very rare sight nowadays in the UK. Usually easy to locate due to their obvious call, but a careful approach is required to get close, best done from a car if possible
