Red-throated Pipits

The month of May always sees some Red-throated Pipits pass through the country, but those are mostly fly-by, only identified by their call. This weekend a couple were found on the ground in a new nature developement area near my home. I didn't have time to go before Wednesday evening. So I made reservations to take the car, and off I went, first to the gym but after that it was straight to het Tienhovens Kanaal, on the border between Utrecht and Noord-Holland to twitch them. I did get to see them, but only briefly, with no chance of usefull pictures sadly.

My bins on the dash, looking at the bins at the viewpoint.
