 During times of cloud cover the PBF would take flight from the tracks and settle on nearby saplings, showing a definite preference for the tips of young pines over birch also present. Maybe I'm being fanciful here but to my eyes the buds at the tips of the pines afford a degree of camouflage - photo uploaded. I wonder if this influences their behaviour?
