Sorry Lou. But am getting a Water Pipit feel about the Pipit pic? For instance? Look at the extent of the white supercilium behind the eye, and other obvious plumage features? Maybe I'm wrong, but good to discuss...?

It's a Meadow Pipit.

I think the confusion may be the pure white underparts which probably hint at A.p.Theresae(Icelandic subspecies of Meadow)which pass through western areas in spring and autumn(MacMillan 1990 Bird Identification)

Looks pretty normal to me - last time someone proposed a theory of Icelandic meadow pipits on here it all went horribly wrong...
