Fresh plumage. In Denmark a rather characteristic pipit during the winter months where most are visiting. The overall greenish-olive cast to the plumage probably indicates that this bird belongs to the named subspecies, coming from the Fennoscandinavian region of further east. It's a large pipit with more diffuse markings on the back, breast and flanks than the more common Meadow and Tree Pipits, always showing darker legs and a stronger and darker bill. They always prefer this type of habitat, but especially Meadow Pipits can be found here as well during migration, see 3191, why you have to look for details or at least here the sound, where Rock has a more lisping drawn-out call compared to Pipit. |
