A super picture of this Mipit Scoz!! Quite brighten my day when they decide to settle where you can get a photograph.

Yeah, definitely a Meadow Pipit lad... the feature I always look for is the centre of the breast where the streaks all come into a blob, not quite so noticeable in this image, but very clear on the others you had in your thread.

BTS great minds today... I'll shortly be posting a pic which will be another Mipit and you'll see what I mean about the 'blob'
