An interesting Pine Bunting with such a white head. I wonder if it could be a hybrid with Yellowhammer?
I think the pipit in post 6 might be a Tree Pipit rather than Meadow - the bill looks fairly heavy, the head pattern is well marked and there is a lot of heavy streaking on the breast/flanks.
A nice set of photos - looks like you had a good trip. Author: Paux Time: 12/06/2012 22:12
John,
Thanks a lot for your correction. It's really very hard for me to distinguish between these 2 birds; when I first spotted it, I even thought would it be an Olive-backed Pipit!
