This family party of Tundra Bean Geese, which have wintered in the county, have now moved a few miles to Old Warden. 11th March 2009, by Steve Blain.

Snow Bunting, Beans & Chats

Early frost followed by a sunny day and a chance to catch up with some notable Bedfordshire birds.
This male Snow Bunting at Brogborough Tip was another excellent find by Steve Blain. The light was reasonable, however, it was a difficult act to follow given the quality of images posted so far !







Although distant, the wary Tundra Bean Goose family group showed well at Cainhoe.





A pair of Common Stonechat frequented a rough patch of ground adjacent to the Cainhoe lakes.
