Water Pipit (Anthus spinoletta).
Water Pipit along the River Cuckmere.
As this bird is within walking distance from home, I have spent many hours over several days, at least 8 visits, trying to get close enough for a decent image.
An extremely difficult species to get close to. I've decided that one of the identification features is that if you can get closer than 50 metres it probably isn't a Water Pipit!!
