The Corn Bunting (Emberiza calandra) is a medium-sized bird found in open farmland and grassland habitats across Europe and western Asia. It is known for its distinctive jangling song and its habit of perching prominently on wires or fences. The Corn Bunting feeds on seeds and insects, often foraging on the ground in search of food. It builds its nest on the ground, hidden in vegetation. This species has experienced population declines in some regions due to changes in agricultural practices and habitat loss.
