Water Pipit - screen grab..................

Since I couldn't get a photo of the Fife Water Pipit at Cocklemill Burn, (I didn't take the DSLR with me), I've manged to get two screen grabs from a video I took with the Canon SX60. Also a few from Montrose Basin including landscapes, a sign there were no birds, and a first photo from a new camera trap. Forgot I had the videos below, now hosted on Flickr which appears to do a better job than YouTube, also a Fox visiting my garden/street which is very rare, no footage...yet!.

Usually its an indication of an injured Pink-footed Goose if seen on its own and in this case it swam away and didn't attempt to fly. Canon SX60
