Description:
The red-throated pipit is a small migratory passerine bird found primarily in meadows, mountains, and Arctic areas across Europe and Asia. It is easily recognizable by its streaked brown plumage, red-orange throat, and furtive movement. This bird primarily feeds on insects and seeds, which it captures by running or foraging in the grass. During the breeding season, it performs song flights, a characteristic that makes it easy to spot in its habitat.

Recommended lens:
>=600 mm

Photography tips:
Photograph the red-throated pipit using a telephoto lens to capture its furtive movements and foraging behavior. It is best to photograph early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the light is soft and the bird is more active. Be ready to capture a moment when the bird sings in flight or perches to forage.
