A small brown streaky bird launches into the air in front of you, singing its heart out, but is it a Meadow Pipit, Tree Pipit or even a Skylark? Let us help you tell these beautiful songsters apart.

After watching your great video we now know that it was Skylarks that we saw on our autumn walk yesterday on farmland in Cheshire....

To my shame I would have called all these birds "sparrows" ; ) I love the song of the skylark - there's nothings else quite like it on a summer's day!

Not to mention that some people struggle identifying these from Fieldfares, Redwings, Song Thrushes and Rock Pippits.

Ok let’s be honest , I’m never going to visually differentiate between a tree and meadow pipit in the field, even if they were next to one another for comparison. I can’t even tell the difference in the ID books. It’s only going to be the song that tells them apart and the fact that it’s usually a meadow pipit one sees, and the tree pipits association with trees, although that can be misleading too!

Great Video, have you any idea what looks almost exactly like the back of a male robin but when it turns round it is all grey down its front? I could not believe what I was seeing. I was just about to put some meal worms down for what I thought was the male robin which was nesting a few feet from where I was standing. But when it turned round it was grey then it just flew off after the Robin chased it away. I would really like to know if this was a native bird or escaped pet. :)

The only likely birds that could fit this description are Nightingale and female Black Redstart but both have distinctly rufous/reddish tails. Both are chats, like Robin, and both have grey breasts.

What about when you startle it and it flies away and it has a black and white zig zag on the tail? Is that a pipit? Or a wheatear? I keep seeing them in moorland areas. The behaviour is exactly like that of a meadow pipit but the white and black stripe on the very tip of the tail when it flies away is very noticeable.

The description doesn't match exactly, but Wheatear sounds like the most likely explanation. It's always hard to observe exactly where the pattern is on the tail of a Wheatear as it flies away.

Meadow pipit = 'Mipit'. Rock pipit = 'Ripit'. Water pipit = 'Wipit'. Much better!

Could you leave space between your descriptions so it is possible to hear the calls clearly?

I hate to say it - but your attempt to relay the Skylark song - which is the best way of identifying this bird - is awful - can you do it properly please?
