grey wagtail

Just got back from the foggy Reservoirs, thought I'd upload this before I do anything else. Too foggy for pictures, but you can really get close to the birds. I was within a few feet of Pied and Grey Wagtails, which never happens in clear weather. I also got close to every other bird (apart...
