Pipit's are a bug-bear of mine. For me some birds, like the Oystercatcher, are easy to identify and then there are the Pipits. Some people will find it easy but for me no. I usually have to take a photo and then look at it closely on the screen and compare to the bird books. As a result we almost certainly have a Meadow Pipit, colour of legs, eye markings, long back facing claw etc. Having said that it did spend most of its time on a rock and nowhere near a meadow. Edit - Now been confirmed as a Scandinavian Rock Pipit which are reasonably common here.
Are they reasonably easy to get close to?
