Tree Pipit studies

Last week I mentioned I had tried to get photographs of Tree Pipit in its display flight and failed due to the weather. I tried again today with more success. Tree Pipits certainly seem to be in good numbers this year in the trees adjoining the open moor.
The photograph below that shows the short curved hind claw and the two photographs below that the narrow flank streaking which, in addition to the song and habitat, help to distinguish it from the very similar Meadow Pipit.
