Snow Bunting.
Species: Plectrophenax nivalis.
Fleetwood, Lancashire.
Breeds in high-alpine habitat in boulder zone of bare mountains, but also along northern rocky coasts and on open, treeless high moors and tundra. Predominantly passage and winter visitors in Britian & Ireland, mainly from Scandinavia and Greenland, but small numbers breed in Scotland. Quite confiding, but restless and mobile, continually on the move.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos
