    Rock Pipits at Brean Down

    I parked up in the NT car park at Brean Down and on getting out of the car, I looked over the sea wall onto the rocks and saw a small bird perched and looking at me.

    So I went to the boot, got out my 7D2 with short zoom attached, swapped to the sigma 150-600 and went back to the sea wall. And the bird was still there. So I took a few shots. This is one of them.

    Then I moved further on and found this little bird, with three others all on the rocks looking at me:

    And it turns out they must have been a Rock Pipit family because the first is the adult and the second a juvenile.

    Considering how grisly the weather was today, I'm pleasantly surprised at how well these came out. And quite please the birds all hung around to let me shoot them.

          Thanks for the feedback guys. The background is the sand on the beach. I don't think I could have wished for a more neutral background
