Snow Bunting.

By Oldgeezer70

Hello.
Today Wednesday 1st December 2021, I captured this rare Snow Bunting just outside Cheltenham UK. As far as I know this is so rare because not to be seen this far south in the UK. I am not a birder and for me to capture this lovely Snow Bunting is to be one of my best pictures for 2021. I am in our lovely countryside everyday whatever the weather with my best friend, 13 year old Border Collie x Lurcher. In these troubled times for me to see and take pictures of this Snow Bunting has really lifted me. To see the Snow Bunting flying free with so much white showing was so lovely.

A nice find for you. I think it may look better with a touch more exposure. Its very rarely that a negative exposure compensation is needed, its much more usual to have to apply a positive compensation; this is because the camera, looking at a bright scene, will already apply a negative comp, so you need to counter it with a +
