Just after arriving at the hide the report from Richard of a Snow Bunting along the front had me on the move, I joined Richard & Mike and the stunning little bird was showing down to 6 feet at times, feeding on the inside face of the seawall it was only flushed when cyclist's passed at speed, returning very quickly to feed between the grasses.

Mike and Richard had already had 2 Razorbills offshore on their way down to French Pt. and as we walked back the Short-eared Owl that had come in off the Sea passed over our heads, not a bad morning.
