A male Snow Bunting.

Longridge Fell, Lancs, UK.

28.10.- 03.11.02.

This superb bird frequented the footpath, c.3/4 mile above the top car park at Birdy Brow, approx grid ref: SD687413, where it fed on juncus seeds. 

As is evident from the superb images obtained, the bird gave outstanding views to local birders who made the effort to see it.
