A Snow Bunting present near the Burial Chamber also 2 ad Med Gulls and 3 Red-throated Divers Whitesands Bay. The Snow Bunting was another Greenland or (less likely)Scottish or Scandinavian bird - anyway not from Iceland: probably an adult male. There seems to have been a throughput of Snow B's at the Head this winter, it will be interesting to see if it's a 'one off' or a regular occurrence. All the birds raced have been 'nivalis' and all or almost all males. Something to consider. There have been quite a lot more Meadow pipits about over the last couple of days and a few more Pied Wagtails, these (along with Stock Doves) would have been usually the earliest migrants I noted on the East Coast. It seems to me spring may be upon us.
