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 These lovely little birds were a first for me and this stunning male really stood out.
All comments welcome

Cracking looking exposure Rob - nice one
Be even nicer with his head up but hey, you can't have everything

Hi Rob,
I noticed you'd changed you user name before I'd even clicked it open - much better!
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!
The subject in both is very nice!
