Tawny Pipit, Anthus campestris, is a species of passerine bird in the wagtail and pipit family found in grassland, heathland and shrub and unvegetated or sparsely vegetated land ecosystems. It is a fairly widespread summer visitor to much of Europe, with somewhat patchy distribution across the Central and Western Europe. This species is found in open dry habitats, from sand dunes, sandy heaths, dry grassland and clear-felled areas to artificial habitats such as gravel pits, favouring areas with dwarf shrubs and low-growing trees for songposts (European Red List 2015).

Anthus campestris has a breeding population size of 538000-967000 pairs and a breeding range size of 1110000 square kilometres in the EU27. The breeding population trend in the EU27 is Stable in the short term and Decreasing in the long term.

The EU population status of Anthus campestris was assessed as Secure, because the species does not meet any of the IUCN Red List criteria for threatened or Near Threatened, or the criteria for Depleted or Declining (the EU27 population or range has not declined by 20% or more since 1980).
