Richard's Pipit on Constitution Hill

 There is a Richards Pipit on the top of constitution hill hanging around the fields by the radar station thing that's there. It was hard to keep finding because of disturbance from public but 'I've attached a few pics and a video of it calling. Initially I thought it looked squat and short with a short hind claw like a blyths pipit but I managed views and a pics of it, one where it is perched in a tree where you can see the really long hind claw, also not calling like a blyths.

It seems to be hanging around the fields all around the radar station up there, but as I said it's mobile because of disturbance.

There was a photograph of the Richards Pipit with the email which Mark sent to me but I see Arfon has beaten me to it.  See Arfon's post below.  Cracking bird.
