Tree Pipit


Walk across Roils Head this afternoon produced 10 Willow Warblers. Heath Hill Road produced this Tree Pipit, several Meadow Pipits, 1 Grey Partridge, lots of Swallows, 2 Goldfinch, 1 Willow Warbler,1 Kestrel, 1 Common Gull and a few BHGs.
Tree Pipits have had another terrible year in Calderdale with only 1 or 2 reported in the spring.

Thanks for the tip-off Nick. I managed to relocate the bird at 5 pm in the same spot and on a nearby wall (with Meadow Pipits)and heard it call twice to confirm I had the right bird.
