Olive-backed Pipit at Phear Park, Exmouth 15th December 2022 (1 Viewer)

An entertaining and confiding bird that is putting in an extended stay despite the conditions. It is finding food & in the first pic, it has found a noctuid moth caterpillar.

All the best

However, mainly, it seemed to be finding vegetable matter & earwigs and feeding in leaf litter under oak canopies which as a result, were not frozen.

All the best

I had forgotten that was the same year as the one I ticked on Fair Isle. Indeed the same month - October..

My dog, Barney, found mine on the 21st, a thirty year London record that stood until the 29th Oct this year, with a bird found at Hatfield.😩

I agree with Paul, a most obliging bird and well worth a visit. Fairly local for me and it was like watching a new bird. Only 42 years since I saw my last one on Tresco !!! Excellent set of pics Paul.
