Is this a meadow pipit
-
Caught this bird at distance using my new teleconverter. Fine looking bird - is this a meadow pipit. Taken at same location I saw my first Reed Bunting the other day. Or is it a plain ol rock pipit or maybe something else! The two pictures were taken about 40 mins apart at the same spot - so maybe they are different birds - though there again could be different birds but same species! - |

Hi,
The LH pic looks like a Pipit but the RH one is of a bunting by the looks of things and therefore they are of different birds. The bunting looks very 'rusty' in colour but that may be the light.

Second I reckon is female Reed Bunting, legs aren't dark, but everything else is good for it. Short, stout bill etc...........

Thanks guys - counting that as two new ticks. The Reed Bunting I saw the other day was a male - smashing birds. These pipits are sure difficult to tell apart - any tips on distinguishing pipits?
