TREE PIPIT performing beautifully in flight

A bit of recent birding in Dorset yielded fantastic views of Tree Pipit and Woodlark (which I'll save for the next post), with a nice side cast of Hobby & Redstart. Here's a couple pics of one of the Tree Pipits - I just love the way they fall out of the sky with wings opened up in an almost kite-like fashion (the toy kite that is). Great to watch:

Also my Canon 5D3 which I put an ad up for towards the end of May is now £1150; this is a MASSIVE saving on a new one. I need to get rid of it to make way for something new & different...
