    Taken on farmland in Kildare, I've been through the RSPB bird identifier but still not sure.

    Nice pic! These "LBJs" - Little brown jobs - can be challenging, but it looks like a meadow pipit all right, and sitting on post is quite typical for them too.

    AS previous poster said its a meadow pipit. Pretty soon if not already they will be performing their parachute display flight. They fly straight up and then glid back down like a parachute singing all the while. A great sight....

    Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure it's these guys who flutter down the tramlines in the crops as I'm spraying, looking for all the world as if they are badly injured, then when they've led me far enough astray, soar up into the heavens and back to their nest.
