Wow! When I think of how many times I have tried to get close to a Pipit!! Great photos Tony.
ReplyDeleteYes, Pipits love fences nearly as much as Cisticolas love anything high to perch on.
ReplyDeleteGood photos.

Great shots, Tony. Pipits seem to be popping up more frequently here in the farm areas. Would they have been taking advantage of the nesting cover provided by the maize fields?
ReplyDeleteThanks Mick. I used to have more luck with Pipits. Not sure why they seem shyer these days.
ReplyDeleteHi Denis: Thing is, lately they are avoiding fences and sticking to the road.
Hi Bronwyn: Not sure they'd be so keen on maize. Prefer more open vistas, I'd say. But then I'm only into grass and cane.
There's plenty of open space around Atherton, so I should go for a slow drive to see what I can see. (And annoy the tourists.)
