Rustic Bunting - Emberiza rustica
On Thursday 27 September 1990 Jaco Walhout and Erik Sanders found a Rustic Bunting Emberiza rustica at Westkapelle Zld. They warned other birders and the news was quickly spread. The bird stayed till 2 October and was seen by many birders, since it was the first twitchable Rustic Bunting in the Netherlands. I saw it on Saturday 29 September and it was the first time I saw this bunting in the Netherlands after dipping on four birds in 1980 on Ameland Fr and one in 1984 on Terschelling Fr.

It was accepted as the 30th record for the Netherlands. On the same day a bird was found at Den Haag ZH and another on Terschelling Fr.
