| Chestnut-eared Bunting, Emberiza fucata
|
| Shetland, Scotland United Kingdom |
| 1st-winter male trapped and ringed at Fair Isle. This bird was aged as a first-winter due to the dark grey-brown iris, unmoulted alula feather and pointed tail (although adults of this species also have pointed tails, they are usually broader and more glossy) and sexed as a male on measurements. It shows absolutely NO signs of captivity with immaculate bare parts and no obvious nicks out of the feathers. The 1st record for Britain and for Western Palearctic. |
