Margaret,
I
think you have already worked it out. Going only by photos, I am sure you have
Australian Pipits and Eurasian Skylarks there. I wouldn't be confident of
identifying each photo but 2514 is 2 Eurasian Skylarks. I think 2438 is one
also. 2524 I don't know if it is possible to tell (as I can't hear it). The
other photos are Australian Pipits. No Rufous Songlarks & no Singing
Bushlarks. I'm not suggesting they weren't there yesterday, though the latter is
very unlikely.
Note
thicker beak & crest on Skylark, also different face pattern with black
stripe on face of Pipit.
I'm
impressed with getting good photos. I have always found it hard to get close to
a Skylark. I can't imagine taking a photo of one.

I returned to Weston this morning and sat in the middle of
the activity in an attempt to photograph my mystery bird. There appear to
be two species of birds there, one of which is an Australian pipit.
However, there is another distinctly different little bird, Nos 2524, 2438 and
2514. This one I would like a little help with identifying. (These numbers
are the last 4 digits in the name beneath the image when you open it on
FlickR.
The birds that were making all the noise really sounded
exactly like the recording of the Eurasian Skylark I listened to
yesterday.
Cheers
Margaret Leggoe
