Today I watched a Pipit fly up and then parachute a fair way down to a hawthorn tree. It was not quite a vertical drop (more like a float). I tried to scope it but the haze made it difficult. I know Meadow Pipits do some sort of 'parachuting' but could mine have been a Tree Pipit. How do you tell whether you have a parachuting Meadow or Tree Pipit? (Please imagine you are deaf like I am.)
