Nice one! Very attractive shot and the background colour really compliments the pipit.The way its face is fully in light also adds to the appeal.

It poses the question, for me, why do birds stand on one leg on many occasions? Great light and tonal colouring.

Thanks everybody for your comments. That little bit of extra light falling on head & chest did just make the image.
