Needle in a Haystack

Spent some time down at Doonfoot with the family on Sunday afternoon. Very little snow once you get down into Ayrshire.

A Lapland Bunting had been seen on and off in the stubble field just South of the car park with Skylarks. Very large stubble field, several hundered Sklarks and Linnets and Reed Buntings. Rearrange into a well know phrase or saying....................."haystack a in needle". Needless to say I did not see the bird. Unless you are very lucky I would say the only way of finding this bird would be when/if it calls.

Nonetheless, we had a pleasant walk along the beach seeing nothing much. A Yellowhammer flew over and there was c25 Dunlin on the beach. Some images:
