The Alpine Accentor is a good bird to see in the winter in the Alpes Maritimes, near the coast or in the mountains. I saw a couple again today (top shot) about one kilometre from the coast. The blue background is the Mediterranean Sea.
The Alpine Accentor has a yellow lower bill, black and white stippled throat, rufous streaking to belly, two rows of white triangles on black on wings and greyish streaked upperparts.
