Meadow Pipit.

Species: Anthus pratensis.

 

The meadow pipit favours moorland and grassland. It is an unfortunate victim of cuckolding behaviour - their own young being pushed out of the nest, so they can look after the 'parasitic' Cuckoo chick. Info: Wildlife Trusts.

 

Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
