Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba yarrellii)

Rather a heavy crop: the bird was on our electricity substation roof 25 yards away (not that far, but they're small birds).

Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding!

Beautiful result despite the size. Even the long end of a 100-400 with 1.6 camera crop is often not enough. 150-600 with my 77D was a major improvement in terms of distance but of course often not enough as well.
