A really nice quiet relaxing afternoon at Broadwater, much less windy than yesterday but not that much warmer. Tree Pipits definitely identified today, so I was reassured about my identification of them yesterday.
ID points include the clearly visible eye ring, the clear pale sub-moustachial stripe, the strong bill, pinkish legs, very curved (short?) hind claw, the change from the strong broad streaking on the breast to fine streaking on the flank, the whitish belly in contrast to the buff chest and flanks.
Clear dark centres and pale fringes to the feathers make the median coverts stand out very clearly.
This bird was singing its heart out:
