Snowflakes Party Bunting

Product Information

White snowflakes are lovely for the holidaysbut this could be made in any color depending on the color theme of your home decor and tree. A truly Arctic passerine, Snow Bunting has a circumpolar distribution throughout the boreal and Arctic regions, preferring treeless, flat, dry habitats at the edge of snow and ice for breeding, sometimes on outcrops ( nunataks) in glacial fields or occasionally among seabird colonies on cliffs or even in towns beyond the treeline. Britain's tiny relict breeding population of 60 pairs hides a dual identity. These barely sustainable numbers – Snow Bunting is expected to be driven out by climate change and is currently Amber-listed for Conservation Concern due to a recent decline – include representatives of two different subspecies spread thinly across the Cairngorms and north-west Highlands. There are greater numbers of the Icelandic insulae, with a few of the nominate nivalis peppered among them and more prevalent in the former region. This eastern and western bias of the two subspecies is almost certainly due to their origin in the core range of their mother forms. You can use them as decorations on your Christmas tree, make a garland or use them as appliques on a Christmas card.

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.Once you have your snowflakes, roll out a long piece of your clear thread.
