Water pipit

first light still cold but a pleasant morning
A kestrel as I pulled up was a good start then a meadow pipit flew over, a dipper in the channel was a surprise, usually a November bird
6 red grouse and the usual crows
At the boat house a pipit flew off no call and striking white outer tail feathers and wing bars, it flew off behind the containers and lost to view. Soon found it feeding on the banking by the boats, a brilliant water pipit! A couple of dogs appeared and it flew off out of sight
The twite were still by the pump house so put some seed down for them
