Meadow pipit on lichened post
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 400 1/800s at f11 taken from car on beanbag.

The perch the pipit is sat on is a wooden fence post and if there are any lichen experts out there I would be interested to know what they are. All C+C warmly welcomed.

I think your Lichen could be a Parmelia sp.

Superb BOALCP. Perhaps a bit of stacking to get the tail in focus, next time. Someone has to give JR a run for his money. :biggrin: :eek: :wink:

Many thanks PhilH! We have lichen & mosses in abundance up here but they are a complete mystery to me.
