Snow Bunts and Mink






The 4 Snow Bunts are still on Soil Hill and seem at home in the snow preferring the snow covered areas to the clear.
A Mink was at Ogden this morning skulking around the reservoir banking.

Yes, great shot. Caught them this afternoon having a snow bath.

Ive put some photos on West Yorkshire Birding of them digging holes in the snow and bathing in it.

Lovely pictures there Bri - great when you can get pictures that pick out the light in the eye as well.

Must be getting on for 3 months now since they first arrived up there - we are getting spoilt!

Wonderful photos Brian. You've posted some great Snow Bunt pics but these are probably the best yet.

Thanks all, wish all birds were so easy, the bird in the close up came so near I could have stroked its head.
