Meadow Pipit. Stanage Edge, Derbyshire Peak District. DSC_8903.jpg
I'd walked along below the Edge to an area where Ian Bollen and I had found Ring Ouzels feeding on 14 April, but nothing was stirring in the cold and shade of this section of the Edge, before the sun got further round and higher. So I went back to the sunny SE end of the Edge and then slowly repeated the process.
I spotted Wheatears characteristically standing up on heather as before, I managed a few shots before this one was joined by a Meadow Pipit, birds I hadn't really focused upon in these recent trips to Stanage, but this looked rather nice in its setting so I popped off a few shots whilst it also sat posing!
Thank you for your comments and faves. Much appreciated.
