This is a 'lifer' bird for my list. After a lovely lunch at the Anchor Inn in Cockwood with my girlfriend and her parents, we took a steady walk towards the Turf Locks. We were approached at the car park by a birder (a very enthusiastic lady) who told us where to go and see this stunning snow bunting. It didn't take us long to find this bird, as it was sat very still on the wall, resting and feeding on seeds, provided by local people. Not surprising that it's stayed where it is for a few days!

- Snow bunting are large buntings, with striking 'snowy' plumages. Males in summer haave all white heads and under parts contrasting with black mantle and wing tips.
- Females are a more mottled above. In autumn and winter birds develop a sandy/buff wash to their plumage and males have more mottled upperparts.
- Globally, they breed around the arctic from Scandinavia to Alaska, Canada and Greenland, and migrate south in winter.
- They are a scarce breeding species in the UK.
