A winter visitor, the Meadow Pipit is smaller than the similar Rock Pipit, having pink legs as opposed to dark.

In size it is the equal of the Tree Pipit, but has a longer hind claw and a more upright gait. All in all they're difficult to tell apart and great care should be taken!

Meadow Pipit (Anthus pratensis)
