The Rock Pipit (Anthus petrosus) is endemic to Europe and nests on the rocky coasts of the Kola peninsula and in western Europe northwards from Brittany. It is normally a resident bird in Ireland, Britain and France, but the populations in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Russia moves south in winter, probably to the coastal areas of Western Europe.
