File:Flickr - Rainbirder - Sokoke Pipit (Anthus Sokokensis) With A Spider.jpg
A small heavily spotted forest pipit which is confined to a very few patches of forest in coastal Kenya and the Usambara hills of Tanzania.
Little is known about this endangered range-restricted species.
We watched two birds feeding on the forest floor where they took spiders and small snails (which they seemed to be able to remove from their shells intact).
I found them to be very difficult wee birds to photograph due to their hyperactivity and the poor light levels on the forest floor.
