I am still sharing Day 3 of my trip to Scotland with you
and in this post we drove to Aviemore Ski Resort car park before going to
journey on to Loch Garten (last 3 posts to see Crested Tit, Treecreeper and G.S Woodpecker). There we found about 16 Snow Buntings flying
around the car park, however we had to take photos from the minivan due to
lots of skiers getting out of their cars to go skiing and making the birds were very
skittish.
The conditions were not good and I was sitting in the
middle of the second row of the minivan so my view was restricted to take
photos so I was fortunate to shots these ones.
I took a very short video that can be accessed at

Just a bit of snow! I assume there must be more elsewhere!

ReplyDeleteT think the snow buntings are finding it much easier to find food there than they would here where there's so much snow.
