| | | id a bird please
Can anyone identify this bird for me? Seen on the beach in Sandown Bay last weekend. My guess is some kind of pipit, but I'm useless at id-ing birds.. 
Apologies for the rubbish hugely cropped photo.
Thanks for looking,
Rob

Thanks Jason. It was hopping about the rocks so that fits nicely, Rob

Agreed, usually seen within sight of water. True in this case?

Thanks Nigel, Caernech,
yes this was on the upper beach, a stone's throw from the sea, I think probably a pair, the other moving in parallel along the rocks a bit higher up,
all the best,
Rob
