pied wagtail

Well Peeps, I bussed it out to Pett Level yesterday...Wandered around for about four hours in the sunshine, and got a nice few clicks in.

Pied Wagtail

No internet for most of the time, but apart from that, we are having a great time...See two Common Cranes flying past at height and distance. Also see an escapee Harris Hawk this morning.

Seen on the shingle beach by the Old Fort, Shoreham.

My pair of Wagtails are still around. It makes me laugh as they don't normally come together, but when they do he is definitely in charge. He struts around and if she dares to get too close he chases her off as he likes the pick of the food. When they leave however they fly off together, just...

My Pied Wagtail brought his Mrs to see me today, she arrived just after him and then came to the window to say hello, lovely.

Our regular Pied Wagtails disappeared earlier this year following an attack by a bird of Prey, I don't know if it was the Wagtail that it took. Anyway we had another one arrived this week and he has become a regular visitor so far.

A "natural" black and white for this Pied Wagtail in the snow of our Garden last winter.

This wagtail was foraging in my garden.

This pied wagtail regularly collects mealworms off the bird table, flies to the birdbath, dips them in the water up to ten times, then takes them to its nest. its mate doesn't do it and I've not found any reference to this behaviour.
