| Bird ID, please (no photo)
After my excursion to East Anglia, I have a query - there was a lovely flock of birds at Blakeney point in the green verges on the banks - bit dunnock-like (in closed wing view), but a touch smaller, and beautiful flashes of white/blue (black?) when they took wing - about 20 in the flock, and they played a game of follow-my-leader, whilst performing a bouncy jaunty flight up to 10m in the air, and then suddenly diving into the verges to feed again. Anyone any idea what they are? I suspect, from images on t'internet that they were Lapland Buntings - but there seems no description of the white/blue-black of the underwing or tail, nor are there any in-flight pics! |
