Snow Bunting - Foxhill Farm Daventry




















(More Images on Website -see link opposite)


Having picked up Abigail, and knowing that a female Snow Bunting was nearby at Foxhill Farm, just off the A361, Daventry, I was keen to see the bird before heading home. So, a McDonalds to eat in the car while I walked up the farm track was the order of the day.

The Snow Bunting was very obliging (mind you don't step on it!) but was being harrassed by a Robin, both keen to make the most of scattered seed. Nice to meet Gareth B again after many months.

(Mental note - check the camera ISO regulary. Unfortunately I keep inadvertantly changing this when walking with camera on shoulder and then getting grainy pics!)
