It's such a hyperactive bird that it was not easy to track its movements but because it spent so much time foraging in the big field, another fantastic feeding ground for a lot of birds, that I was able to follow most of its movements.
Looking at some initial shots made me realise that the Pipit had earlier found a centipede, however, it was clearly a wrong pick as the 'prey' was discarded almost immediately! And off it went in search, and was lucky a couple of minutes later.
This worm was more to its taste!
Pursuing the Pipit for shots were not too easy and when it spotted me a few times, I considered that a bonus! Never do any scowls look more adorable!
Determination did pay off when I managed to get some close shots as the bird came pretty close to where I was seated.
Was not sure why it did this, as if it had spotted my lens! And the irony of it is that it came so near to me that I was unable to focus sharp, and had no time to back off to do so!
Nevertheless, it did move away as quickly and enable me to focus well again.
