A real lesson in how a bird's streakiness and whiteness can change depending on its posture. White snowballs waiting by my feeders in cold weather often change into bog standard Common Redpolls with a shake of the feathers.Yes, Greenland, a bit of a busman's holiday birdwise (although the plan is to visit a Little Auk colony) and it must the only place in the world where I have more potential mammal ticks than birds. But what it lacks in avian diversity it more than makes up for in jaw-dropping landscapes and an amazing sense of wilderness.</blockquote>
