Snow Bunting

A mid-afternoon posting by Nick Bond on SOS of a Snow Bunting on Ferring Beach had me bundling the camera into the car and going hotfoot to Groyne No.4. I say hotfoot more hobbling as I am incapacitated at the moment through a careless accident.

I parked on the sea front road and there in the distance were Dorian Mason and Dave Smith, a sure sign that I was in the right place. A most obliging bird - a year tick and a record shot just so I have the necessary proof. Thanks Nick - lovely bird.

I did my best to alert Martin but I suspect that he was off "owling"

    Hi Dave, I was there at lunchtime, a great bird and one I have been meaning to photograph for sometime now. Will post a pic or two later.

    Hi Dave, glad you enjoyed the bird and news got out via the SOS site pretty quick although hopefully this bird will hang around for a while!

      Hi Nick

      Thanks again - really good to have such a bird on the "local patch" - another tick for Groyne No.4

      Regards

      Dave
