Took this yesterday on a wall near Dent Station. Is it a Rock Pipit?
Would love confirmation please, as it would be a first for me!!

Looks like a Meadow Pipit to me. Rock Pipits are usually greyer where Meadow and Tree Pipits are brown.
 
It's definitely on a rock... but it's definitely not... :shrug:

As Brash says that is a Meadow I'm afraid Barry... ;)





:p

 
have to agree with Brash,it looks too brown.Shame the legs are out of shot.
 
Cheers Guys! I literally had two seconds to grab the shot as a Hawk Trainer shot across the top of us, and we jumped out of our skins because it had been VERY VERY quiet all day. The Pipit was spooked too!
I saw the yellow on the front of the bird and thats what made me think 'is it a Rock Pipit' Guess not!

And before you ask, yes I did get a shot of the Hawk, but not a very good one!
