When the re-introduction programme began, many of the birds used for breeding and re-located across Devon and Cornwall were collected from our South Devon sites. As a result of these conservation efforts, the charming cirl bunting is a real success story that has bounced back from the threat of extinction.
The South Devon coastline remains a top spot for watching cirl buntings, with a number of National Trust sites like Prawle Point, Bolberry Down and Wembury making key locations to spot them.
