Tweet Take 5 : Three Pipits

Available for over a year

Aside from some rarer species, in Britain we are able to regularly can see three pipits in different habitats. To look at, pipits are small brown streaky birds, best identified from their song. The tree pipit is a summer visitor found mainly in heath and woodland. The meadow pipit breeds in the uplands, but over winter on lowland farmland. The rock pipit is at home on rocky coasts washed by the sea. In this extended Tweet of the Day, we bring you the song of each of these three species with wildlife presenters Steve Backshall, Brett Westwood and Michaela Strachan.
