Snow way! One of our National Park staff, Mike, spotted a very handsome snow bunting this week on the Peak District Pennine Way. Normally found on Scotland’s highest mountains, these sparrow-sized icy experts head to lower altitudes along our coasts in winter, but it seems this travelling visitor was still a little homesick for the uplands!
Let us know if you see any! 🐦😁
