Rock Pipit (Anthus petrosus)

I was really pleased with this one, as I hardly ever see these guys and have never got a picture of one.

Isn't it great when all the right things come together, setting, light... and pose for a few shots too.

LOL I got a flight shot as well, but that's more suited to a SF ID one!!!

So we have... Year, trip and photo ticks all in one!

Perfect pose with the head turn and the yellow lichen lifts the composition wonderfully! Congratulations on the ticks Delia and a great capture to record them!
