Bird Family :Motacillinae - Wagtails & pipits

Red Data Status :Unspecified
Remarks :Another series of observations on a Paddyfield Pipit having a dust/sand bath to clean the feathers of mites/bugs. Was very persistent & I managed to watch from the car as a hide. This image is a composite of the behaviour. Rather vigorous and would lean forward to allow the breast to be dealt with. - Amar
