16 reactions | The meadow pipit - did you know it had such long hind claws - they are used for stability and balance on unstable surfaces - the meadow pipit is in decline and yet unfortunately for it and others it forms a large part of other species diet - for example a merlin’s diet can be over 60% pipits. We know it is in decline, we don’t know why, but its disappearance will be a disaster for other species… #meadowpipit | Tarquin Millington-Drake | Facebook
