PECHORA PIPIT
Quendale Mill
Found by Andrew Jordan
Spectacular views of my first Pechora Pipit at Quendale Mill this afternoon! It was shockingly cold today, but my own fault as I forgot to layer up properly and also left my collection of gloves in the boot of the car. This bird was far more flamboyant than I expected it to be. It fed in the grasses and the field behind the dry stone wall and went missing for fairly short periods, but always appeared on a stone again at some point and seemed fairly settled. I felt sorry for it, as it really was freezing cold today.
Lovely to catch up with John Coutts, Rebecca N, Jill and others. By the time I got back to my car, my hands were too cold to actually turn the ignition on, seriously! I had to put one hand over the other to get the car started. Full heat all the way home! Looking through my photos, unusually I have quite a lot of 'keepers' as we say, which is very pleasing indeed! Last day tomorrow before I return to work on Monday – for four days only and then have another two weeks off! Exciting times!
