Both elements of our couple were active on-cam yesterday, both fit and "happy".
Too hot for a worthy picture.
Moonrise tonight:

Not much happing still very quiet

EJ just landed - looking very mottled... mantle-flapping.
Flown!
All in silence.
Terribly blurry for snaps :'(

Scylla I have been reliably informed by an “expert birder” that your little bird is a tree pipit. :-)

Here she is again - standing looking here and there, alert.
She's flown.

When I was googling I looked at pipits, as they were "lumped in" with wagtails - and guess what else I just found lumped in for differentiation? Skylark! (MIKE)
I originally saw "my" bird as yellow-breasted with pattern under the throat but the snaps were awful :-/
Thank you, Mary :)
