Berthelot's pipit (Anthus berthelotii, English: ber-tə-LOH, French: [bɛʁtəlo]) is a small passerine bird which breeds in Madeira and the Canary Islands. It is a common resident in both archipelagos. Berthelot's pipit is found in open country. The nest is on the ground, with 3-5 eggs being laid.
This is a small pipit, 13–14 centimetres (5.1–5.5 in) in length. It is an undistinguished looking species on the ground, mainly grey above and whitish below, with some breast streaking. It has a whitish supercilium and eyering, with dark eye and moustachial stripes. The sexes are similar, but juveniles are browner than adults.
This species appears shorter tailed and larger headed than meadow pipit. Its call is a "schrip" like yellow wagtail, and the song, given in flight, is a chattery "tsivrr tsivrr tsivrr tsivrr". This species is named after the French naturalist Sabin Berthelot, one-time resident of the Canary Islands, by Carl Bolle.

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Berthelot's Pipit sighting in Teno-Rasca Marine Strip (Tenerife) on a given day, based on 401 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 10th most-seen of the 70 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Berthelot's Pipit in Teno-Rasca Marine Strip (Tenerife) on a given day, against about 30% in April and May, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Berthelot's Pipit sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Teno-Rasca Marine Strip (Tenerife), in our data
Teno-Rasca Marine Strip (Tenerife) is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Berthelot's Pipit sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Berthelot's Pipit is recorded against all the birds logged in Teno-Rasca Marine Strip (Tenerife) (401 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
