Snow Bunting

800 x 600 | 1024 x 768 | 1280 x 1024

Up to 100 pairs of Snow Buntings breed on Scottish mountain tops but many birders will be more familiar with them as winter visitors, particularly to coastal areas in the north and east. This year their rippling calls and flickering white wings revealed the presence of Snow Buntings on the east coast and one or two inland sites from mid-September, slightly earlier than in previous years. Ringing recoveries suggest that the majority of birds wintering along our coasts originate from breeding areas to the northwest, particularly Iceland.
