Pipit Pechora 568 S Shields 2509
I've always had a soft spot for Pipits and Pechora is surely the best of the lot. Not only is it very rare in the UK but it is fantastic looking and, as the name suggests, comes from the remote Pechora River area in Northern Siberia.
I have seen one previously in the UK last century [How old that makes me sound] but have bumped into them in both China and Siberia on foreign trips.
This one turned up in Trow Quarry, South Shields which has an amazing reputation for rare birds. It was very difficult to see well and it was pure luck that it landed in front of me
