Last night was a nice mild calm spring evening. Jane and myself walked Bunty north from Boulmer to Howdiemont Bay hoping to get a wheatear. No joy. They are late here now. On the way back a movement on the redundant sheep feed area turned out to be 2 Snow Buntings scuffling along. One, a male, in almost summer plumage, looked as large as a skylark and was very obvious. The other, a female, sat still next to a tuft of grass, camouflaged, amongst sheep droppings and tufts of wool. A good late record for Snow Bunts...
I seem to have cocked up the list count again. A proper check of a paper list shows the actual Boulmer total to be...
83. Snow Bunting.
The low tech method is best for this I think...
