 Its all about white birds today. This confiding 
Snow Bunting was hiding in cliff top grass before feeding on the field nearby. I also managed to see the 
Iceland Gull on occasion despite the gull flock being pushed up and down the beach by a survey boat. For the patch challenge I managed to add a few waders - 
Knot, Turnstone and 
Ringed Plover whilst 
Tree and 
House Sparrow also finally crawled on. A 
Red-throated Diver and single 
Great Crested Grebe were present on the sea and a couple of 
Snipe flushed from round the reedbed. Not huge numbers but all good fun!

The Snow Bunting was trying to hide in the cliff top before feeding almost at my feet. An amazing bird - properly confiding.
I also added a few other bits to the patch year list, 
Linnet & 
Robin. Next time I am up there I will be trying for garden & woodland birds to get the diversity up although I fear lots of single pointers for the patch challenge.
