Interesting Flava Wagtail (or hybrid) Elton Reservoir, Gtr Manchester, UK
This wagtail has been present for the last couple of days along the dam at Elton Reservoir in Bury. First thought to be a Grey-headed Wagtail but I dont think pure birds would show a full length supercillium, therefore possibly a hybrid Grey-headed x Blue-headed Wagtail? These photos were taken yesterday 16th May 2012. Any further thoughts would be welcome..

i think thunbergi with a bit of flava would be a better bet.
