I was not as fortunate as Bob and Mervyn but I did see 4 Lapland Buntings today and one noisily settled on a nearby wire fence and remained long enough for me to get a digi-scoped pic. Behind me was the Snow Goose which has presumably come from the menagerie at nearby Ty Gwyn Pools where I have seen free-flying Snow Geese. (I thought there was some regulation about non-native species. Best I stop here!) Had I been in Norfolk (and it was cold enough) and that goose had been with a few thousand Pink-feet, then one might look more favourably on it; but you never know! At least 255 Skylarks were on the coastal fields.
