Great shot MJ. So strange to see a Meadow Pipit sat on a bramble/rose stem.
The bend in the stem helps as well.
Unusual MP image.
Cheers

Cheers John. This was taken at Knockadoon Head and the place is full of Meadow Pipits that all seem to have no problem sitting on stems etc. This stem is actually a favorite for a Male Whitethroat. I was trying to photograph him but this pipit got in the way. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Not a bad substitute for a Whitethroat. The fading, warm light adds something extra to a lovely portrait.

Cheers Jeremy, Here is the same specimen on a fence post. MJ

Nice shots there John, I saw them perched on fallen branches recently, so maybe not so unsual behaviour. Makes a change from the usual shot though.
