On 3 December, I posted a shot of this bird in the same place, on our substation parapet, looking immaculately groomed. A fraction of a second later, it gave itself a good shake, allowing this last one before flying off. Looking at its rear end, is that grey mass poop, on its way to join the...
The third picture of this bird I've posted, I'll wait a while before posting more.
Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well, and good birding!

Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well.

Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well.

This Grey Wagtail was in view only briefly: I got this shot just as it flew. It was still partially illuminated by sunlight as it passed in front of deep shade.
The next day, on the verge of our access road, it was surprising to see two Grey Wagtails, feeding about three feet apart. Before...
