A Snow Bunting seems fitting for the arrival of the first snow of the year. There were a few flurries in Hull last night, and the snow kept on the drains of the roofs overnight. Storm Arwen roared all day, the wind keeping most of the birds under cover. I had my first Snow Bunting of the year on the beach between Sand le Mere and Withernsea on Monday, flying over calling its ”cheu!’ flying south. I’ve only seen Snow Buntings once before at Flamborough, then I got much better views as they fed on a ploughed field. A mixed media drawing on my Wacom tablet.
