Today I was lucky, came really close to these beauties. :) Not easy to spot unless you see them in the air. I counted 12 of them this time. I was able to get rather close to them so it was a nice birding obs.

I was lucky this week when I took the car to the countryside outside town. I spotted the Snow Buntings and they are quite rare. They are heading north now to breed on the tundra.
To see them in the air is easy as they "glitter" due to the bright underpart. To see them on the ground is much worse. I had to mark them to see them. :)

Despite the fact this happened close to water this bird obviously preferred to take a sand bath. It was so much fun to watch. From my trip to Scotland last June. :)

This sparrow is closely related to the European House Sparrow. The male has brown head and white cheeks. The House Sparrow has grey head and light grey cheeks. The female resembles the House Sparrow female. They say the Italian is a hybrid between the Spanish Sparrow and the House Sparrow.
