Rock Bunting (Emberiza cia)
Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita)
Long-tailed and slim bunting with striking head pattern and grey bill. Adult male unmistakable with lead-grey head and black eye-, crown- and moustache-stripe framing grey cheeks. Female with brownish tone to facial markings, not so pure grey breast and less rufous underparts. Both sexes with heavily streaked back, grey lesser coverts and white-tipped median and greater coverts. Rufous rump. Immature birds usually show emerging black eye- and moustache-stripe, and some black-tipped ear-coverts.
Sound:Song variable, but usually distinct. Recalls stuttering Dunnock. Jerky, uneven thythm and tempo, with fairly large register and recognizible bunting timbre. May include mimicry. Alarm call a thin, short "seeeep", with clipped ending, similar to Cirl Bunting.

CCLargely unmistakable, even at a distance when bald head is not apparent. Note short legs and short, thick neck without bulbous head. In flight note that the legs are not protruding behind tail, and that the wings usually show 3-4 "fingers". Frequent soaring flight, as opposed to Glossy Ibis.
Sound:Mostly silent. Vocal at breeding ground, where a range of guttural calls can be heard, "yarrp, yarrp" etc.
