    One of three!

    I didn't see many Australian Pipits but did get one in each of the three states I visited. They are found all over the mainland (including Tasmania) in open habitats. This one was outside the hide at Little Grove, had to grab the picture quickly as he was beside the footpath and people were coming.

    The next morning found us back in the hide, but a bit later than usual due to the tide. I got my first useable picture of the morning of this Australian Pipit outside the hide. They're very widespread through Australia. It's handy for me that there's only one species of pipit out there...

    On the way home, we detoured up a country lane (really not sure where though), on the grass verge was a Pipit with a grub in it's mouth. Obviously had a nest somewhere. Sooo... I finished this outing with another Life bird. Sorry for the quality of the image, it was taken through the windscreen.

    I've only seen the Australian Pipit once before, and despite considerable effort, couldn't get terribly close. This second sighting was quite a thrill to sit & watch for quite a while.

    Judy & I recently spent a week on South Australia's Yorke Peninsular,with several days in the Innes National Park. We were lucky to find a few newbies, including this Australian Pipit hopping around a cliff-top, as we looked down upon the shipwreck of the "Ethel". ps. Sorry I...

    This Richard's Pipit was on the lookout but for what I don't know as it wasn't watching me. Fairly common bird with many plumage variations Australian Pipit - Anthus australis, as per Cuckooroller's post
