A little after 9.30 am I was walking behind the static caravans at Patch on the coastal path looking out across to Poppit and Cardigan Island. There were huge numbers of Goldfinches about and plenty of meadow pipits.
Close to the bench that looks out cross the bay, I suddenly caught sight of a large pipit standing very upright close to some boulders. It was a type of pipit I hadn't seen before but everything about it, from the long tail with white sides, it's size and shout bill, and general appearance makes me believe it was a Richard's Pipit.
I have not seen one before so there must be a degree of caution with my identification but I thought it worth reporting.
