buntings

How about another look at the beauty I got from the Lord for Easter, the Indigo Bunting. Unbelievable beauty in my eyes anyway, however, like KC has said I like all birds.

Indigo Bunting

Some shots of one of my favo rite winter visitors.

Found this lovely little Lapland Bunting at Garur yesterday but so late i vent again today to get some nicer shots Very late for him to been seen in Iceland but as i always say we never know what can show upp all year around :)

Most common Winterbird in Iceland comes in hundreds to our gardens to eat Crushed Corn :) Beautiful Little Fellas

Singing Yellowhammer

Looked lovely, but suspect this bird was not too happy with the weather. I've never been so close to one of these.

This beautiful bird only visits us during the summer. This male is still somewhat in transistion between winter and breeding plumage.

Such lovely buntings, full of life and singing all the time like Corn Buntings

Now quite a scarce sight in the Uk, Corn Buntings although fairly common in s Spain are still under enormous pressures from changing farming practices. This little fellow was enjoyng a bath in a puddle - the first puddle he had seen since April and was having fun!
