Stunning views of a summer plumaged male Snow Bunting along the shoreline shingle ridge east of the East Bank yesterday afternoon.... can't believe there was hardly anyone there. This is a crazy record for Midsummer's Day, and a beautiful bird to boot... but apparently everyone took the attitude that they'd already seen loads in the winter and didn't bother with it!
Two excellent shots of the Snow Bunting Dave. What a superb looking bird.I had the same conversations yesterday. :eek!:
It was a great bird and here are a couple of shots for those who missed it.

I'd been told that there were no records of snow bunting in norfolk this previous winter, although I did find it hard to believe. Can someone summarise how the winter was for this bird, along with Shore Lark and Lapland Bunting? Much appreciated.
all the best
