Hitching a ride! (Anthus pratensis)

A young Meadow Pipit on board the Boudicca, as we sailed round the south coast of the British Isles.
Happily it left before we headed northwards to Milford Haven.

Meadow Pipit for me as well from the bill shape and long hind claw. I think it's probably a juvenile from the black mark below the eye.

Thank you for the correction. I was influenced in my decision by the lime and black.
Next time, I shall look more carefully at other factors e.g. the hind claw and beak shape.
