Meadow Pipit?

This bird seen at Ferniegair (NS75) on 29th June 2009.
I've got it as a juvenile Meadow Pipit but I'm not sure.



On second thoughts, I think it might be a Dunnock... Any ideas?

14th July 2009: Have now changed my mind on this being a Dunnock on having seen a good few young ones around. Still no real idea as to what the photo shows!!!

  1. Certainly looks like a juv Meadow Pipit, can't get any real detail on the body due to the light though.

  2. Thanks John - I'm 99.99% certain that it is a young Meadow Pipit.

  3. Hi I have a difficulty in identifying a bird a I saw. Could you help me. Is it a just an ordinary duck or a comb duck?
    I have linked to my page.
    It is on the page I linked to. Would a comb duck be in the UK? A female comb duck is it the only bird I could find that looked like it?
