In the fading light, I managed to get a snap of this flighty fellow. I was above the treeline at an altitude of around 2000m at Col de la Creueta in the Cadi Moixero Natural Park in the Spanish Pyrennees.
From a vague description in my Catalan bird book this could be a Rock Pippet (Anthus spinoletta) but I am guessing and I am still learning Catalan!
Anybody able to confirm or correct this id?
PS: Apologies for the poor photo, but this is a crop of a much larger photo and I was struggling with the light level as a storm was coming in. :eek!:
