Snow bunting couple looks for food, video

This video shows a male and a female snow bunting in winter plumage, looking for food near the harbour of Lauwersoog, in Lauwersmeer national park in the Netherlands.

Usually, snow buntings wintering in the Netherlands migrate back to their Arctic breeding grounds in March.
