striolated bunting (Emberiza striolata)

ever happened to you that you hear about someone for the first time, after that this one seem to be every where and it seems that everyone knows him.

this is what it happened to me with this little bunting, saw a shot for it in a local group gallery, asked the photographer he told me its a common around Jeddah, the next week i saw it for the first time, then i started to see it always.

its a common breeding bird in most part of Arabia.

Hope you like it. thanks so much.

That's always the way, isn't it. Struggle to see a bird for a long, long time... see one and they you wonder why they were so difficult LOL!!!

What a great picture you've taken of this bunting Doux. I hope we'll now be seeing loads more of them popping into your Gallery.

Well done my friend!

An outstanding capture and yes, that has happened to me a couple times. It's always fun to find a new species for your album-well done.
