An overcast humid day saw us on the western coast. Among the more interesting stuff around was Mountain Hawk-Eagle, Peregrine, Osprey, Intermediate Egret, Rhinoceros Auklet, Great Crested Grebe, Japanese Green Pigeon and the usual common birds like this Siberian Meadow Bunting.

That brick red colour makes it one of my favourite buntings !
When we drive down country roads and my wife says “what’s that red bird?” I know what it is without even checking…..!
