More Owls and Buntings

A few more photos of Snow Buntings and Short-eared Owls from last weekend's trip to Kinmel Bay in Wales. The sun shone for most of the day but it was quite windy. You can see the grains of sand being blown around in the Snow Bunting photos. The owls didn't show as well as in December, but I did manage one or two photos of these fabulous birds flying in the sunshine. The Great Northern Diver was still on the marine lake in Rhyl but was still too distant for any shots.

North Wales Afternoon

A short trip to North Wales for an afternoon's birding. Found the Great Northern Diver on the marina in Rhyl but it was too distant for photography. Got a few shots of the Snow Buntings at Kinmel Bay but the light was already fading. Finished off with cracking views of Short-eared Owls nearby.
