I met up with JM at Jay House Lane this morning and we had an hours birding together before JM left and I had another nosy about.
A cool bright morning with very little wind which made a pleasant change.

Snow Bunting Mystery.
Just finished cleaning me boots when I got a phone call from BS re: a Snow Bunting seen somewhere below Taylor Lane > Bradshaw.
I had a slow walk up the road to the Taylor Lane area and back again scanning the fields but came up blank.
A very large area to cover and a small bird to find!
2 Herring Gull and a Greenfinch were of note.
Abi to entertain, this afternoon, otherwise I would have probably spent a bit longer on the search, but on a bright day like today, the bird had probably moved on?
Not best pleased with my photographs today!
