Finally caught up with the snow buntings that have been -present in Lerwick for about a month. These have been feeding on seed put out by birders at the quarry above Clickimin.
The conditions were sunny but cold with ice and snow on the ground. At first the buntings didn't show, then a tractor came for a hay bale just as the snow buntings arrived, peering over the edge of a rock.
As usual for this species they were noisy and chattered until the tractor left then flew down to feed for a short time before taking off and flying off
Ten minutes later they were back and came to feed again for a short time then flew up to the highest point in the quarry.
The OM1-2 150-400mm was good at tracking using the settings previously showed.
