A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS








As the weather men are predicting for it to be reasonably mild over the Christmas period I thought I would present you with a little bit of snow!



Yesterday I went to Startop's End  Reservoir near Tring in Hertfordshire were sightings of a Jack Snipe had been reported during the last two days, needless to say it was spectacular in its absence!!
So I decided to have another look at the Snow Bunting that has taken up residence and has been showing well for over a week now.



So, here's your  'snow'  for Christmas...enjoy!







And a video...!

I must get my bum down there Trevor, and see this bird.
Cracking video.

These are fabulous shots Trevor, I have not been able to see this species yet. The North Norfolk coastline is a good spot for them.

Great pictures and marvelous video, you can tell that he/she is very fond of having you to film it, he has just finished washing and making itself perfectly dry.

Thanks Roy, Maybe some decent weather over the holiday would be a good excuse for a trip 'up North', as they say!...[;o)
