The
ortolan bunting (Emberiza hortulana) is a species of bird in the
bunting family, Emberizidae. A native of most European countries and western Asia, it reaches as far north as Scandinavia and beyond the Arctic Circle, frequenting cornfields and their neighbourhoods. It is an uncommon
vagrant in spring, and particularly in autumn, to the
British Isles. Seeds are the bird's natural diet, but
beetles and other insects are taken when feeding their young. The ortolan is served in
French cuisine, typically cooked and eaten whole. Traditionally diners cover their heads with their napkin or a towel while eating the delicacy. The species is so widely used that its French populations dropped dangerously low, leading to laws restricting its use in 1999. In September 2007, the French government announced its intent to enforce long-ignored laws protecting the bird. This ortolan bunting in flight was photographed in the
Sierra de Guara, a mountain range in
Aragon, Spain.

I took contact with Wikipedia in January of 2007. The idea of a free encyclopedia with the aim of having an important part of the common knowledge of humanity felt irresistible so since then I try to help improving this huge work.
