It's that Bunting time of year...

17/11/07 Salthouse, James and Simeon
We went to Salthouse to try and see the Pomerine Skua on the floods. On arrival 2 Snow Buntings and 7 Lapland Buntings were feeding on some seed on the sea wall. They flew off quickly, but we got cracking views of a Snow Bunting that eventually returned! We scanned for the Pom. Skua that had flown off a while ago and came across a hybrid duck with a dark back, pale breast and even a dark crown, but we just couldn't turn it into a skua!
