Ynslas Water Pipits
Nice photos Janet, are they of the same bird?. Photo 1 (showing the bird from behind) shows a prominent supercillium over the right eye but isn't showing any white outer tail feathers much the same as the bird I saw at Ynys Las TO, while photo 2, side on, the supercillium is much less distinct, like the bird seen by Leri Boatyard, though this was over the right eye as well, when it flew the outer tail showed prominent white feathers. To complicate matters a little further the first bird, at Ynys Las had very fine marks down the flanks, both of these seem to have quite large streaks.
