ROCK PIPITS Anthus petrosus
- Apart
from the first photograph (taken in Cornwall) these remarkably confiding, albeit
unassuming Eurasian Rock Pipits Anthus petrosus
were photographed on the west coast of Scotland. It was quite possible to
approach them to within a couple of feet - or even less in the case of a
passer-by who casually dragged his hand along a railing causing the
(unnoticed) pipit to take off just prior to contact! Numerous small
crustaceans were collected by the parents for the single chick illustrated
in the final batch of photographs. This chick was
so confiding that I needed to back away to be able to focus at minimum
range and the parent birds were equally uninhibited when providing their
very well looked after baby with copious quantities of Sand Hoppers. It is
possible that there might have been other youngsters still on the nest but
as it was receiving so much attention this seems unlikely to have been the
case.
