Lapland Bunting

Success on the east coast at Long Nab today. On the way had good views of Drake Smew at Anglers County Park. Then onto the east coast where we spent 3 hours walking around a stubble field and saw 2 Snow Bunting and 1 Lapland Bunting in flight and very briefly on the ground. We thought that was it but on walk back we luckily relocated the Lap and had great views as it fed near the seawatching hut. Water Rail running across the road rounded off a superb day.
