Snow Bunting - Again! (Soil Hill)


Sorry if it is getting tedious but this is my first anywhere! Only one found but there may have been others on the hill. There were several people up there looking. Thanks to the birder from the Bradford group who walked straight onto the hill and found this one for us just as I was about to give up.

Nice shot with its wing stretched,I was hoping for a shot with open wings but they wouldnt play.

Thanks for the comments! I got dozens of others pics with him sitting but they weren't as good as previous posts. Picked this one with it being a bit different. Hopefully the other Buntings were just elusive in the aft and are still there.

Congrats on your "first" . Yes we were lucky with the couple coming just at that time.Glad your picture came out all right for you.

Thanks Mick and Kath. Bet you've got some crackers, that put mine to shame, with that white lens. As you soon worked out I don't really know what I'm doing not knowing F stops from shutter speed! Good to meet you.

Most good pictures are luck of the draw . As long as you like them and others can take pleasure from them , then thats all that counts.I posted a few that I took on my site and it looks like we must have pressed the button at the same time .The one with the spread wing). Best of luck amd nice meeting you too
