December 2016 - Local Snow Bunting

Snow Bunting are pretty regular along our local stretch of beach here in Worthing, I never tire of seeing them and they are generally confiding although this individual was pretty flighty and took some tracking down, not really a surprise considering how busy the area gets with dog walkers/joggers etc, The bird only remained in the area for around 4 days, but proved rather popular with local birders and photographers when it did show. It mainly fed along the coastal path, but I also observed this individual feeding in the ploughed field opposite the beach with Skylarks, flying back to the coastal path calling as it flew
