Our penultimate day of #SevenforSeptember, and I have realised there have been very few birds from me this month. Highly unusual given how many bird photographs I have, however going through my birding shots I struggled to keep it to seven in the squares or it was a close up of just one. I did however manage to create a square of a decoration of Corn Buntings. Decoration being one of the collective nouns for Corn Buntings. They were a common sighting for us in the Algarve; sadly farming practice and loss of landscapes has led them to being a rare sighting in England these days.

The seventh is almost hidden thanks to a shadow

Tomorrow is the last day of this month’s Squares Challenge, where has the month gone? Not sure when the next Squares will be, but probably January. I will let you know later in the year. In the meanwhile if you fancy exploring more of my birding collective nouns check out this post on my other WP blog.

  1. I love that 2019 post! Though I slightly distrust ‘a runcible of spoonbills’. And as for squaring birds being difficult … it might be . But you did it. Of course you did.

    1. I thought you might like it, and I know a runcible is ridiculous but I have this theory that most collective nouns were created after a few drinks!

    1. they do, fortunately though they seemed to like these bushes and so we saw them regularly here so I knew to slow down and grab the shots before we got too close

  10. We have snow buntings in Canada, they fly around in the hundreds. Wonder if they are related? I’ve never managed to get a picture; the whole white on white thing and the speed they move at.
