Taken on the quayside at the mouth of the R. Tees where the land below is very rocky/grassy with sand dunes, well away from the tidal reach . Judging by the beak full of insects it is probably a parent
nortorw said: I had tentatively marked Rock Pipit in my RSPB book. So inclined due to the terrain that the bird was flying to and from.
Hi.
Your bird is a Meadow Pipit.
Rock Pipit would tend to have considerably less defined (more 'blurred') streaks on them.
Lovely photo.
