Yellow Wagtail (male) (Motacilla flava flavissima)

Another fantastic shot.I was watching them at the weekend and they didn't look out of place in a grass field full of dandelions.

Excellent work Nigel....no doubt the bird watching planes...or predators...birds are not so daft.

He was watching a rival male that was flying around and seemed to copulate with his mate more often than he did, and she just carried on gathering straw during the process. Annoyingly the mating only occurs when there is some horrid out of focus object between me and the birds so far, i'll try again today to get the "Wagtail porn" shots!
