Title: Unsure Pipit at Tai Po Kau
Post by Neil on Feb 24^th, 2006, 4:27pm

Photographed today at Tai Po Kau. They didn't seem to sit as tall as Richard's Pipits. These are likely to be different birds but they were feeding in the same area. What could they be?Neil.

I think it is an olive backed pipit
as you can see the distinct white spot next to its eye
