Meadow Pipit (Anthus pratensis)
One very fine day last July, I came across some Linnets and what I first thought were Skylarks, having seen a few of the latter fairly nearby earlier that same day.
In the end, one look at the footage (below) had me revising my thinking, when what I got instead, and I was not disappointed in any way, was these rather attractive Meadow Pipits
The meadow pipit is a small passerine bird which breeds in much of the northern half of Europe and also northwestern Asia, from southeastern Greenland and Iceland east to just east of the Ural Mountains in Russia, and south to central France and Romania; there is also an isolated population in the Caucasus Mountains.
