pipit

Of these I will only mention the blackcap, linnet, and tree-pipit.

My new-found friend (the feathered one, I mean) was the American pipit, which some years ago was known as the tit-lark.

In our climb up Gray's Peak we found the pipit realm and that of the white-crowned sparrows slightly overlapping.

I cannot find a similar case among British species to illustrate this point, unless it be that of the meadow- and rock-pipit.

And yet the tree-pipit is not very highly regarded among British melodists, on account of the little variety there is in its song.
