Just as well we did, as a five minute mid morning encounter was to be the only decent snow-show of the day! So, courtesy of Dave Western, who refound it, here's a few pics of this smart bird...
No matter what angle you view them from, always a firm favourite...
Feeding like crazy in what to us was a icy gale force wind. For a Snow Bunting, pretty balmy conditions?
The biggest struggle was dealing with the wind and trying to hold the kit steady!
But worth it in the end. Thanks to all three 'Daves'!! There was another distraction too - a second Black Redstart for the day was about to command our attention in the quarry...
