With the snow starting to finally clear here in the North East, I've managed to get out and about. I've been wanting to get to a local place to witness the marvelous Snow Buntings upto 150 of the beautiful birds.
I was also blessed with the presence of a Peregrine who was hunting along the coastline. It did make a kill which I witnessed but it was at least half a mile from were I was taking my photo's. I hope you all enjoy these as much as I did taking them.
By the way I took 667 photo's of which only a handful are reasonable. LOL

Very nice! the Buntings in flight is great!
For viewing or photography right place right time is everything. I'd rather be in the right place with poor kit than have the best kit and be in the wrong place.
Magnificant pictures. Snow buntings are lovely wee birds, and what a brilliant shot of the peregrine.Paul.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
150 snow buntings ! I got excited last year when I saw 1 !!! Lovely pictures and I love the one of the flying buntings.
Lovely photographs. I've never seen snow buntings. Such gorgeous little birds. I wish they came this far south. I'm green with envy.
Thanks for posting them.

My what lovely photos - you've obviously got the hang of the new camera. I've never seen snow buntings and the two flying are wonderful but then again I've never seen a peregrine in the wild before, the shot is superb.

Thanks, I didn't know that. I checked the BerksBird website and to my astonishment they have been reported in Berkshire with sightings in 2003 and 2004 but nothing since.
Brilliant photo of the peregrine! The snow buntings are beautiful too :-)

WOW! They are all fantastic photos. Very well done indeed. I would that mine were a quarter as good.
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
