Pipit, Rock
The rock pipit is a common bird of rocky beaches, feeding on seeds, small molluscs and invertebrates it finds among the stones. It breeds around the coast and most of our breeding birds are residents - only the young disperse once they are independent. Our rock pipits are joined by birds from Norway in winter.
