@hashygeek A small, brown, and streaky bird, the Meadow Pipit is the most common songbird in upland areas. Its high, piping call is a familiar sound. In flight, it shows white outer tail feathers and, in the breeding season, it has a fluttering display flight. In winter, they are quite sociable and gather in small flocks, often hidden among plants, suddenly flying up with their typical jerky flight. Meadow Pipit numbers in the UK have been declining since the mid-1970s, resulting in this species being included on the Amber List of conservation concern.

Beautiful description of the Meadow Pipit! It's sad to hear about the declining numbers in the UK. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these lovely birds and their natural habitats. Let's hope for a brighter future for them. 🌿
