Petronia brachydactyla would go undetected were it not for their soft bee-eater-like calls. Late February to early April is the peak time but ground views are rare. Cretzschmar's Bunting Emberiza caesi peak in mid-March with day counts of up to 180. This precedes the peak of up to 300 Ortolan Bunting E. hortulana per day, by about three weeks. More
