Obviously the yellow bunting has to be up there - the sensible suggestion is that it is covered with pollen from the goat willow. Why this individual should make the effort to coat itself so thoroughly when others next to it did not we will never know:
As in the prior post the white buzzards are another - rough legs in winter and ospreys in summer! Picture courtesy of HVWG:
This white pheasant was on the go in 2008 - unfortunately being a ground nester and white does you few favours - it was not seen for long after making its nest...picture courtesy of Martin Standley.
Another recent bird was the leucistic common gull - seen a few times at Hornsea too this winter:
The black rabbit too has been seen of late - it appears to have a charmed life sitting on the res embankment all day long and seemingly viewed with great suspicion by the resident buzzards and stoats...
However the most notable celebrity has to be the orange great spotted woodpecker - the topillus ssp. was last see a week ago and has now reared orange young for the last two years running - HVWG pic:
Unfortunately I couldn't find any pictures of the pink black headed gull and we never did get a photo of the white weasel (no not an ermine!). Back to reality...
