Red-throated Pipit (Anthus cervinus)
Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)
Pipit with distinctly streaked breast and flanks. Adults with rich rusty red coloured throat, breast and supercilium. Males usually more red than females. Easily confused with other pipits when in winter- and juvenile plumage. Characterised by two whitish stripes on back, heavily streaked rump and flight call.
Sound:Most typical call a forced, drawn, slightly descending "zziiiieeet", with an accented ending. Other calls resembling Meadow Pipit. Song: Like a mix of Meadow Pipit and Tree Pipit, with typical staccato, and uneven rhythm (extra "beats").
