Rock Pipit ?

This was larger and darker than nearby Meadow Pipit's at Covenham today.
Confirmation would be appreciated as this would be a first for me.

Meadow Pipit ?

It is a Rock Pipit. Slightly larger than Meadow, with masses of blurred streaks below.

Legs look wrong Paul

I would say Rock Pipit Richard.

Rock pipits legs are usually not black - rather they are dark reddish. Bit like a pint of Guinness! This shines through with the light.

The terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act must be observed and licences obtained to photograph Schedule 1 species from the appropriate Statutory Nature Conservation Agency.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
