Good morning. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #walking ,birds walking. The alternative theme is #birdinabush any bird in a bush. Good luck. I’ve went with a Meadow Pipit on a day trip to the beach, looking for a suitable place to lay his towel. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin
A meadow pipit stands alert on damp sandy ground, its streaked brown and buff plumage blending with the shoreline. One leg is lifted mid-step, the slender bill pointed forward, with soft, earthy tones and scattered pebbles forming a blurred background.
