What a pipit...

After a trip to the coast to check on a few old Barn Owl site, and put up a box at a new site, myself and Tony decided to go and have a look at the Water Pipit that had been in residence at Ynyslas for the past couple of weeks. Sure enough it was still there, and giving the local Rock Pipits a hard time. Water Pipits are an uncommon visitor to Wales, so to see one is great, but to have such great views is even better!!
 

Below is a Rock Pipit for comparison, funny to think these to species have not long been separated, considering how different they look!!

 
This Ringed Plover was also keen on having his photo taken.
