| 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
