snow bunting

This could be my best Snow Bunting up to now. Cheers

Taken at Gullane Point near Edinburgh

You can really see the cold weather plumage in this one.

Yet another decent bird for Glamorgan in as many weeks. Pity the SLR is at the doctors so had to make do with the compact. Quite pleased with the result all things considered.

A good flock of these around Salthouse at the moment along with some Lapland Bunting.

I found this single individual as I was walking along the sea bank, it merged beautifully with its surroundings it was almost impossible to see.

3:15 pm, overcast with light rain. A group of 6 snow buntings were feeding furiously on the ground along Iona Jetty, they must be thinking of going back to nest early.

Taken in a very strong wind giving the bird a unusual collar

well.. chuffed with coming across this brilliant bird.. 3 here today..2 males and a female(poss.juv.) but this male was superb.. the birds were people friendly as ever..(thankfully) loads of walkers,as ive said in the previous pic.. and made someones day with pointing out the birds..couple in...

You can see from the angle of this shot I was lying flat on the ground and this obliging bird just walked up to me. The problem then is getting back on my feet in a dignified manner getting a bit stiff nowadays

I spent the day crawling about a exposed Headland in a Force 6 wind trying to photograph Snow Buntings the odd Walker that past must have thought I was completly Mad

This should be the first sighting of this migratory bird for the season. Last year I only met it once.

Managed to catch up with this bird today,[a lifer for me],though it never stood still for more than a few seconds.

A good inland record, and about the only time this bird stopped still in three hours.

This colourful character wouldn't sit still for a second as it scoured the water's edge for food. The only time it seemed to pose was when it heard me click the camera off.

Cracking little bird on a lovely sunny day.

Was walking along the shingle bank at Salthouse last week when this delightful little fellow dropped in.One bird I didn't expect to see.

At last a good picture of the snow bunting for me.

An attempt at getting the snow out of the background -- another lying in the snow affair

It's tough to get one all by itself. I lay on the ground using my camera bag to support the lens.
