Kleinasiatische Ammer

The cinereous bunting (Emberiza cineracea) is a small passerine bird in the family Emberizidae, with a breeding range centered on Turkey, the Greek Aegean islands, and parts of the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. It breeds primarily on arid, rocky hillsides and sparse scrub at low to moderate elevations, and winters in the Arabian Peninsula, northeastern Africa, and the Middle East. The male is a distinctive pale gray-yellow bird with a streaked brown back and yellow-tinged head, while females are more streaked and less colorful. The species favors dry, open habitats with sparse vegetation, often nesting on the ground or in low scrub. The cinereous bunting is classified as Not Evaluated by the IUCN in some assessments, though it has also been assessed as Least Concern in others, reflecting a small to moderate global population concentrated in the eastern Mediterranean and Turkey. It is entirely absent from Norway; any such database record is an artifact of data entry error. Like other buntings, it feeds primarily on seeds outside the breeding season and takes invertebrates during nesting. Habitat loss in its breeding range, particularly degradation of traditional dry-land farming and grazing landscapes in Turkey and Greece, represents the primary conservation concern.

Bergammer

The cinnamon-breasted bunting (Emberiza tahapisi), also called the rock bunting or cinnamon-breasted rock bunting, is a small passerine in the family Emberizidae, widely distributed across sub-Saharan Africa and extending into the Arabian Peninsula and parts of western Asia. It inhabits rocky hillsides, boulder-strewn slopes, dry scrub, and open woodland with rocky outcrops, from sea level to highland elevations across its vast African range. The male is distinguished by bold streaky brown upperparts, a black and white striped head, and a rich cinnamon breast—its namesake feature. The species forages on the ground for seeds and invertebrates. The cinnamon-breasted bunting is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a large, continuous African range and populations considered stable. It is one of the most widespread buntings in Africa. The species is entirely absent from Europe and Norway; database records to the contrary are errors arising from data entry or coordinate mistakes in species databases. This bunting is a common and conspicuous species throughout its African rocky habitat, often singing from prominent boulders. It is non-migratory across most of its range, though some montane populations may make limited altitudinal movements seasonally.
