Meadow Pipit

2 comments

Hi all. Pipits drive me nuts. Especially distinguishing between Meadow / Tree.

I know in the UAE Tree Pipits tend to be much more common, but while wandering around the Equestrian Club here in Abu Dhabi last night I think I have a good candidate for Meadow.

I'm basing this on the strong streaking on the flanks, and the yellowish (rather than fleshy-colored) lower mandible. However I'm not 100%.

What do you think?

Pale tram lines on the mantle and uniformly heavy streaking on the flanks & breast, coupled with yellow-based bill - non-breeding Red-throated, Tim.

Pipits at Hamraniyah Carpet Grass Field - Saturday 2 November 2019
Its that time of year again when the pipits are her - I always struggle with them. The majority seen here this morning were clearly Red-throated and a couple of Tawny, but I would be grateful for advice on the following: Bird 1 Bird 2 Bird 2 Bird 3 Bird 4 Bird 5 Bird 5 Bird 6 Bird 7 Bird 7 Bird 8 Many thanks Steve
