Blyth's Pipit at Landguard (Brian Small)
After a morning at Beachy the 'possible Blyth's Pipit' was still present at Landguard so I drove north and joined the small crowd watching it performing well on the Common. A few days later it was taken by a Kestrel. A few days later still rumours were rife the bird had been trapped and it was a proven Blyth's. At the time it was only the second Blyth's Pipit to be accepted in Britain after the Sussex bird in 1882. Retrospectively four more were accepted from the late 80's and early 90's one of which we had dipped on a day trip to St. Marys in October 1993.
