I don't need an ID, but how many pipits have you seen like this?
This Rock Pipit has been hanging around Hannafore most of the winter but I have only just managed to get a photo of it that does it justice.
has anyone any idea what race of Rock Pipit is this brown with such well defined streaking? kleinschmidti and meinertzhageni should be darker than petrosus I've included a photo of littoralis taken on the same day to show the difference.
Does anyone have any expericence of the French forms - ponens and immutabilis said to be paler and browner above and paler below with less distinct dark streaks than petrosus
