Meadow Pipit in Flight
I have a thing about meadow pipits these days, I think they get a bad press, people think of them as boring little brown jobs. I think they are a beautiful little bird when seen properly, with lots of character. I finally manage to get a picture in flight.

Canon 7D, Canon 500mm f4 lens, f4, 1/800sec ISO 200

Brilliantly caught Ron. No easy task. I agree I think Meadow Pippets are lovely little birds. They are beautifully marked when you look closely at them. :toast:

Ron,

You've done well to capture this. They tend to fly quite fast from what I remember. They remind me of little thrushes - a fab bird to take photos of.
