thanks guys, John it may be a bit dominant for some, I have them on all sorts of perches trouble with pipits, wheatears etc you can t bait them where you want them, so I am more forgiving on these bigger perches because they are just so natural, its where they choose to land

Yes that's how I see them usually - the food is a real bonus. Is my monitor off, or does it look a bit grey?

thanks everyone Ian I have looked at this so many times comparing to other pipits in different light and even questioned is this a meadow pipit, it was took on a dull grey old day, maybe its that but the colour of the bird is the colour it was very different to some of my others that look more golden but that was in the sunny conditions so don t know if thats the reason it looks greyer
