This Pipit is extremely common, and is found feeding on 
all the roads in and around the town. Its coloration then 
renders it almost invisible, and the bird seems to be conscious 
of this means of protection, for it does not attempt to fly 
away until one is within a few feet of it, and even then it 
generally runs off in a crouching manner and takes refuge 
in the grass at the sides of the road.
