Hi Mike,

I'm sure there'll be plenty of other good suggestions but I have never failed to see Cirl Bunting at Berry Head near Paignton. Walking from the carpark on the headland follow the path a short way up the hill and as it flattens out that is where I usually see them, in the scrub but very visible or on the path.

Best of luck,

Owen

WE try NOT to publish sites for this species during the breeding season, for what I hope are obvious reasons.

 

[RE Birder]

As John says its best not to disclose sites however RSPB have Labrador bay reserve which they openly advertise Cirl Buntings as being present

Cheers

Josh

As far as I'm concerned the presence of Cirl Bunting on Berry Head is open and common knowledge, even the RSPB provide this information.

Hi all sorry if i have ruffled any feathers,i am just looking for a quick look as totally understand the breeding issues.I had already looked up best places but was just after some local knowledge to try and speed up the process. Sorry again for trouble this seems to have caused.
