Snow bunting.

Winter guests such as the snow buntings (Plectrophenax nivalis) are slowly beginning to arrive to us. There isn’t a very large number of snow buntings wintering in Estonia, but during migration – to the south in autumn and to north in spring – they are many. Flocks of these "snowball birds" can be seen in many places, even at the seashore, where they enjoy the seeds of the knotgrass, to store as many calories as possible before cold comes.
