Cornish rock pipit with lunch (Anthus petrosus)

Hi Peeps- I am back from a few days in Cornwall with a sunburnt head and a few extra pounds. Did not go to take birds (with the family) so these are snatch shots so I don't get told off. Lol

Habitat
Look for it on rocky shorelines around the UK as it hops, walks and runs foraging for food among the boulders. Birds are sometimes seen perched on prominent rocks. Absent from the less rocky parts of north-west, east and south England coastlines.
