It's always nice to photograph something a bit different and my quest today was to return to an area on Dartmoor where I had seen Tree Pipits last year.  I have already been twice before this year but not seen any but today I had immediate success with first one bird and then another in exactly the same tree that I had seen them before. Unfortunately this tree, although only about  9 feet tall doesn't give a good background and even though I took photographs, I wasn't entirely happy with the background.  I walked down to another area on the side of the valley and I was very pleased to hear another bird displaying in the scattered low trees here.  The background was now perfect and I sat with my back to to a massive granite boulder hoping that the bird would perch and display from the nearest bushy tree just in front….. and that's exactly what happened. I couldn't tear myself away, trying to get the very photographs possible.  I am relatively pleased with the results today but I have come to learn that whenever I return to an area to try again I usually do better and hopefully when I go back tomorrow, as long as the weather isn't too bad, I should have more success.
