| Comments : | Scandinavian Rock pipits at Broad lough since september to november... Bird 1 note the overall paleness, supercillium and whiter breast and streaking. Bird 2 shows darker plumage more "Petrosus" like, but shows whiter outer tail features, slight supercillium and again whiter breast and streaking is more neat. Bird 3 is from Tacumshin in sept this bird shows classic winter plumage of a "Littoralis type" | ||||||||||||||||||
