Camouflage Pipit (Anthus antarcticus)

This shot was taken in next to a stream in deep tussock grass on Bird Island in South Georgia. The light was poor and this litle chap didn't like staying still! I took about a dozen shots and this one was the only reasonable one. I have only really posted it because I think it is a slightly better representation than the current shots in the archive.
