Snow on the Beach

After a few hours with the Lapland Buntings I headed up Hurst Spit to look for the Snow Bunting which had been seen earlier in the day. Although reportedly flighty, with a cautious approach it proved very tame, feeding on the landward side of the beach. Returning to the Cut Bridge, the nearby feeding flock of Dark-bellied Brent Geese held a single Black Brant, while several Mediterranean Gull were roosting in the same field.
