Gough bunting
The Gough bunting is a bird species native to Gough Island, part of the Tristan da Cunha archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is known for its distinctive yellow and brown plumage, which helps it blend into its natural habitat of grasslands and shrubbery. This bird primarily feeds on seeds and insects, playing a vital role in the island's ecosystem.
Gough bunting is classified as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and the introduction of non-native predators, such as rats and cats. Conservation efforts are underway to protect its habitat and ensure the survival of this unique bird.
