Snow Bunting: A nice trip out to see the snow bunting that have taken up residence in Southport and i wasn't disappointed as typical  in their nature they were very confiding. 

There were five birds, including this paler male bird feeding along the strand line amongst the razor clam shells close to the sea wall, right next to the pier, on the northern side. 

They didn't seem bothered about the passing traffic, the dog walkers or the admiring crowd of birders.  It's been a good year for snow bunting locally with long staying birds at Crosby, Leasowe and reports of them further down the Mersey. 

Always a nice bird to catch up with.
