This would be great to use old Christmas cards. You can write any message on the circle of card and hang them. The courtship behaviour of snow buntings varies in different parts of the world. In Greenland, the male will have a threat display to ensure his territory. This display will consist of very loud calls, the male will lower its head down and will turn completely to face the newcomer. The males will also have a ceremonial flight to attract the female, in which they will reach a height of 30 to 50 feet, then they will glide, they will sing the song very loudly and will then keep on singing from a perching position. [19] Effects of climate change on snow bunting populations [ edit ] The pattern is a simple and fun snowflake pattern that you can whip up in no time. Use them as an applique for your crochet projects or starch them to hang alone. It is saddening to think that the traditional birders' long weekend away to see the 'Scottish specialities' may be a thing of the past in just a few decades' time, which should be incentive enough to pay the Cairngorms a visit next spring.

a b Baldo S, Mennill D, Grant GilchrisT G, Love O (2014). "Snow buntings sing individually distinctive songs and show inter-annual variation in song structure". Wilson Journal of Ornithology. 126 (2): 333–338. doi: 10.1676/13-157.1. S2CID 49233977. The Snow bunting is a widespread and common species. However, evidence suggests that this species is in a significant decline in North America. Reasons for this may be due to their distribution resulting from climate change. Another possible threat is the use of pesticides for crops since these birds often feed heavily in winter in agricultural fields. Snow buntings are the world's most northerly passerine bird and the only passerine that has an extensive breeding distribution in Svalbard. Such trends will have a direct effect on the species in Britain, and modelling predicts that its range will contract and it will then probably vanish from its Highland haunts in the near future if current climate trends continue or worsen. While montane zones may retain some snow cover, it is probable that there simply won't be enough left to sustain a healthy Snow Bunting breeding population; these trends are mirrored in other specialist birds of the uplands such as Ring Ouzel, Eurasian Dotterel and Ptarmigan.
