Whilst lying flat on the sand a few Rock Pipits began coming closer, as the tide covered most of the rotting seaweed.
This individual caught my eye…
I felt fairly confident that this was a Scandinavian Rock Pipit (littoralis), with its pink tinged underparts, reduced streaking and grey neck and mantle, with not seeing this race before I had a look at Mike's paper, and then sent a quick email to Alan and Mike, and it was confirmed.
