Corn Bunting singing on Hogweed, North Uist

Western Isles - Balranald and western North Uist
As with many farmland birds, the Corn bunting (Emberiza calandra) has suffered declines since the intensification of agriculture. In the Outer Hebrides it is doing better as agriculture is less intensive and seeds are still left over for it to eat. The bird is distinguished by its thick bill as well as its song- which sounds like a set of jangling keys. Seen here singing on Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) in Balranald, North Uist.

Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) is a native plant, unlike its relative, Giant Hogweed. Its habitat includes hedgerows, verges and rough grasslands. It is a member of the carrot family (an umbellifer) and flowers between May and August (although it is able to flower all year-round). It is attractive to a range of insects. This picture was taken in Eigg.
