Meadow Pipits are absent from my monthly sightings list as well despite visiting Tealham, Huntspill sea wall and Catcott Lows on several occasions and going to Arne in Dorset this month. I am also short of Lapwing which is equally surprising. No sign of them anywhere on the Avalon Marshes this month.

A walk around Tealham this morning produced:

Unfortunately no Skylark, Meadow Pipit or Stonechat, most unusual.
