A rare bird not seen in Jersey for 10 years has been spotted
at a golf course.
Efforts have been made to manage parts of the Royal Jersey
Golf Club to allow the cirl bunting to survive and to provide food for the
birds.
Glyn Young, of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, said
the bird's arrival was good news.
The cirl bunting is a sparrow-sized bird with a distinctive
striped black and yellow face.
Mr Young said a study on the bird's survival prospects in
Jersey would take place and include a look at the problem of a lack of food for
the cirl bunting during the winter.
