Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) in our garden.

Everyday now we are enjoying the spectacle of a flock of Snow Bunting in our garden. Their numbers fluctuate from a dozen to eighty birds at any one time.

These Arctic specialists are rapidly gaining body mass prior to breeding by feeding on the newly exposed grassland around our house.

Here are some photos we took today.
