Tree Pipit
One don’t see much birds in the vast and desolate swamps of ‘Hohes Venn’, the greatest and oldest National Park of Belgium and the most unique nature biotope in the land.
I only spotted this small Tree Pipit far away in the swamp. A 850mm lens was absolutely necessary to shoot the bird (500 mm + 1,7x extender).
It’s a long-distance migratory songbird wintering in Africa and southern Asia.
Dutch name : Boompieper
German name : Baumpieper
Latin name : Anthus trivialis

Hallo Mark, sehr hübsch hast den kleinen Baumpieper erwischt!Und dabei habe ich festgestellt, dass Du auch nicht gerade mit leichtem Gepäck unterwegs bist! :-)
Gruß, Gunther

Mark, you did brilliantly with your long lens to capture this little bird. Excellent shot. A relative of this bird is also found here, called the African PipitDeryck
