	Rock Bunting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rock Bunting, Emberiza cia, is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the finches, Fringillidae.
		Rock Bunting breeds in open dry rocky mountainous areas.
		The female Rock Bunting is a washed-out version of the male, with paler underparts, a grey-brown back and a less contrasted head.

	Bunting (bird) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buntings are a group of mainly European passerine birds of the family Emberizidae.
		They are seed-eating birds with stubby, conical bills, and are the Old World equivalents of the species known in North America as sparrows (However, these birds are not closely related to the Old World sparrows which are in the family Passeridae).
		Similarly, there are a few species named "buntings" which are now classed in the cardinal family, like the Painted Bunting and Indigo Bunting.

		This season the Rock Cats are in a close battle for first in the Northern Division of the Eastern League.

	Feel stressed and pressed? Then take a hike
		Camille Bunting and Homer Tolson, researchers in health and kinesiology, along with colleagues at Duke University, tested groups of volunteers performing various outdoor tasks.
		Their results, published in the Journal of Leisure Research: Those who were in good condition could not only handle the rigorous physical demands placed on them, but were also better equipped to tackle the mental and emotional stress associated with such activities.
		Those who were classified as "low-fit" had the greatest difficulty of overcoming the stress associated with the most challenging activities, which were white water canoeing and rock climbing, Bunting said.

		The muses were again good to us, as we watched European Cuckoos chasing each other in the woods, listened to Serins singing their buzzy songs and enjoying a very obliging Hawfinch that sat in full view for all of us to see.

		Sure enough, just then, a BLACK WHEATEAR flew across the road, landed on a rock ahead of up, showed briefly but well, and then moved up the slope, to be lost from view.
		Nevertheless, we soon heard what sounded like the bird, and five minutes later we were watching a superb WESTERN ORPHEAN WARBLER firstly scrambling around on a patch of bare rock, then singing from the top of a pine tree.
		Needless to say, we found another Green Woodpecker on the way out, also proving to be very tame and confiding, before we finally got back to the airport by 20:00 and packed away our bins for the journey home.
