Abstract
The habitat selected by foraging Cirl Buntings was investigated at 2 s ites in South Devon, England in each of 3 winters. Cirl Buntings showe d a marked preference for foraging on stubble or fallow fields at both sites in all 3 winters of the study. A reduction in the area of stubb le fields left over winter may have contributed to the decline of the British Cirl Bunting population.
