Tony heard the Pipit going over, and recognised its call instantly. It settled along the bottom of the grassy slope of the sea wall, bobbing in and out merrily for quite a few minutes. It looked a fair size, holding its head quite upright, with a dark streaky back, and a fairly pale face. Eventually a couple of walkers moved it around the corner of the sea wall. It breeds in Central Asia, but migrants often appear as wanderers over-wintering in Western Europe. This bird appeared at the same site that a well-twitched was seen on quite a few occasions last winter.
