Male Snow Bunting
Canon EOS 1D MKII, 600mm f4 IS, f7.1, 1/2500, ISO 400, G1548, G1321, RAW, RSE, CS2.

Hi All,

After I had finished at the White Crowned Sparrow at Cley I drove the short distance to Salthouse, hoping to locate the Snow Buntings, there was a flock of around twenty who just like their relatives the Corn Bunting had me running around after them :rolleyes: These lovely little birds were a first for me and this stunning male really stood out.

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob,

I noticed you'd changed you user name before I'd even clicked it open - much better! :biggrin:

Lovely capture! Now the first one - very nice! Superb detail! Nice background! The second one - has a slight light spot (actually a largest light spot) on the left that is a little, well need I say any more! :biggrin:
The subject in both is very nice!
