THE TAWNY PIPIT. 



[Aiithtis campestris.) 



1 ""ASILY mistaken for Richard's Pipit, this 

 ■* — ' bird is, however, of a more sandy colour, 

 and may be distinguished by its short hind 

 claw. In Richard's' Pipit, it will be remem- 

 bered, the hind claw is very long. Its real 

 habitat may be said to be North Africa and 

 Palestine. Canon Tristram calls it the common 

 Pipit of the Sahara, and Mr. O. Salvin found it 

 abundant on the plateau of Kef Laks and on 

 the plains of Djendeli, in the Eastern Atlas. 

 In Upper Egypt and Sinai it is occasionally 

 plentiful, and is found all over the cultivated 

 coast and hill districts of Palestine, where it is 

 a permanent resident.
