I opened the curtains in the morning, and the same Pied Wagtail would flap up and down on the spot in front of the lounge window to get my attention for his food.  It was so funny to see this happening.The best part was to see juv Pied Waggies sitting on our flower borders.  Mr and Mrs Waggie the proud parents.  The young Waggies still wagged their tails even though they where not the full length so sweet they where. Their tails where little short stumps. :-CThe Grey Wagtails reproduced at the same time so we Had a garden/crèche of little Waggies - I will never forget the experience as long as I live. :-OOn my way back after a days work, the same Pied Wagtail would greet me on the country lane as to say hello to meThis was in a rural Farm area in Scotland, and that is what made it so special to us.  Love to have a repeat of todays visitors anytime in this abode.</blockquote>
