pied wagtail

Bird nr. 2 we saw from the park bench yesterday was this wagtail, hopping quickly away. I barely got this one shot of him before he was gone.

I chose this shot,as it shows the general plumage ,as opposed to a full face shot,showing only the front of the bird.

Just so lucky with this shot.A pr of this species,along with 2 prs of Swallows nest in this old derelict farm outhous eeach yr.I was just entering the farm gate to see if their Swallows had arrived,and this little chappie,newly fledged,I guess,was just venturing out in the big wide world,we both...

Lucky with this shot.A pr of Wagtails are nesting in a wall of a cafe,I had taken a friend for lunch,spotted these guys,along with 2 prs of Swallows,so returned the next day.I just sat outside ,and patiently waited,as she hopped around the terrace,sometimes only a few inches from my foot. It...

I first saw this wagtail from a distance. For a very brief moment, I thought that white breast might be a dipper. It was on the bank protection boulders, a spot popular with dippers. So I reached out a hand to stop my husband, and even though its first move showed me it was "merely" a...

The "bubbles" are the sun reflecting off the rapids in the background. I was shooting into the sun and concentrating hard to get a decent focus. Didn't notice he was singing until I got the pic up on my screen. We couldn't hear him, after all, over the roaring of the rapids. I wonder...

Now THIS is a pose I will definitely NOT take if and when I hike up Pulpit Rock...

This isn't the best of my wagtail pics from today. I'll share the good ones later. This one is just the first of three that reminded me of where my husband wants to take me for a hike soon - a cliff near Stavanger called "Prekestolen" (Pulpit Rock)...

Well Peeps, We left the boat yesterday and moved on to our cottage in Wells. Looked out of the back window, and there on a fence post sat a female Black Redstart, but no sign of it this morning. We've had a good day out birding at Cley today, pics to come tomorrow. No internet at the cottage, so...

As usual, I couldn't get close to these at the Reservoirs on Thursday. As I got home, this one landed in my housing estate; the Fly was already there|=)|

Thanks for all your kind words yesterday, much appreciated.

I was just about to press the shutter when this wagtail decided to leave! and this is the result.

Well Peeps, Dosed meself up with tramadol yesterday, and managed an hour on the beach, and along the Rock. A very different story out there this morning, wet n' windy to say the least, no birding today then. Taken through the OOF rails of a skip compound, Waggy was having a rummage through the...

Well Peeps, Its post and run for me this morning...we are on our travels again, back home to Hastings. Only two trains today...how sweet it is, see y'all later.
