| | | Lapland Bunting
This Lapland Bunting was at Pagham nature reserve ( West Sussex ), at the end of October.
He / she stayed for about a week or so.
The place was alive with photographers    |

Excellent photos Gaza of this beauty. It some years since I've seen one + often find them a bit skittish, but this was obviously a fairly confiding individual. |

Thankyou, Ashlee and aeshna5
I was told where he was. On arriving at the site. He was sitting in a tree with a Reed Bunting. The tree was unreachable due to the marshes, and was about 50 ft away.
Then to my amazement. He flew straight at us, and sat on the open path.
Didn't worry about us at all. First one i have ever seen. |
