BLACK RED AND SNOW BUNTS


Richard Brown took these photos above and below, on Wednesday 9th, with this male black redstart sitting on a fence at the Coopers Beach caravan park in East Mersea. The bird was only seen on this one day.


The snow bunting flock at the East Mersea Point reached 11 birds on Wednesday.


The birds flew around at times in between feeding along the tideline on the beach.

The markings on the birds help them blend in well with the beach, making them hard to find if they stay still.
