Continuing the theme of my new bird yesterday (the Buff-bellied Pipit!), Barry Jackson sent me this cracking shot of a Scandinavian Rock Pipit on the foreshore at Rainham. They may look drab but close up they are very subtlety patterned in almost every shade of olivey-brown and buff imaginable.
Will be spnding even more time now looking at these little seaweed creepers just in case they have an American relative calling in...
