Snow Bunting

About a quarter of a mile down the lane there were 12 of these little beauties yesterday along with a few Lapland Buntings. I would love to get Snow Bunting on my Yard Bird List. I'll spread some seed in the field opposite and see if I can entice some down here. It still counts if I can see a bird from the yard; it's my list, my rules.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I used to go skiing in the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland. In March or April while the skiing was still good I used to see the Snow Buntings in their breeding plumage around the mountain tops or even lower down in the car park. I wish I had taken some photographs back then.
