I took this clip yesterday of one feeding on Sea Lavender seeds on Red Nab
Rock Pipit 2 on the foreshore and 2 on Red Nab
This is another clip I took yesterday (anticipating a washout today). This Rock Pipit is feeding on the strandline between Red Nab and the foreshore. A more foraging approach compared to the clip of a Wheatear here the other day, that was more of a dash and grab.
By the time I reached the end of the sea wall, the rain had eased briefly.
