Delightful flock of Snow Buntings in the wind and sunshine today.
Variously sunning themselves, preening and gorging on the seeds in the shingle.

A good wing stretch.


















You can just about see the feathered tarsi in this image.
Plus the body feathers that can also cover the naked parts of the bird's legs.
These help the bird survive the cold (below -30°C at times) in its Northern breeding grounds.









Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis)
The Northern most breeder of any land-based bird.
They breed on exposed bits of Tundra that stick above the surrounding ice.
These islands are called 'nunataks'
