I am thrilled to have a Grey Wagtail visiting my garden for the first time. My garden and the ones backing on are about 80 ft each so the length of the road gives a fair size "green patch" in the middle of a housing estate. Bearing in mind my pond is only 5ft by 3ft with a small waterfall I was surprised to see the Grey Wagtail take such a shine to it. Anyway what I would like to know is where do these birds roost? Is it in a tree, a shrub or hidden on the ground? The reason I ask is I watched this bird by the pond for an hour before sunset then it suddenly vanished in the fading light and I didn't see it fly off.
