Blyth's Pipit

Finally got the chance to make a visit to Pugney's Country Park to see the overwintering Blyth's Pipit.  The weather was perfect with no wind and good lighting with the bird showing well at times but was very active making it a little challenging digiscoping.

At one point the bird had a very close shave with a Kestrel.  The Blyth's was feeding in long grass out of view when a Kestrel swooped down on it missing it by millimetres.  The Blyth's flew up just iin time and landed in a nearby tree calling.
