Lapland Buntings gone?

Negative reports from the Paviland stubble fields of over the last couple of days suggest that the Lapland Bunting flock may have moved on? This makes Mark's sighting of 22 on the 12th Feb the last record.

Flock of about a dozen lookalikes flshed by hunting male Hen Harrier and Merlin on Wednseday. Seen to fly off high west, but not identified specifically. Five Sky Larks remained and the hunting raptors put no further birds up.
