Snow Bunting

Its always good to see Snow Buntings and so far this winter i have seen a few flocks

This flock of 7 birds stayed around the pool at Grutness for a good couple of hours with a couple  birds feeding close to the road

In the afternoon, the light picked up the warm colours on the feathers. 

This may have been the same flock that frequented Grutness beach the week before

These birds allowed a close approach and i was able to photograph them for 20 mins before flying off further up the coast
