Water Pipit at Penclawdd

When I was scanning the estuary from the car park just west of Dalton's Point this morning, there were 6 or more Rock/Water Pipits flitting around calling constantly, but never landing in view. One or two at least appeared to have striking white bellies so I played Water Pipit song on my phone and after about 5 minutes a rather smart Water Pipit landed about 5m from the car. Great binocular views, but unfortunately by the time I'd focussed my scope and got the camera on my phone ready it had disappeared. I must take the proper camera next time.
