Pied Wagtail. Managed to grab a few hurried stills but as soon as I started to set up the camcorder it flew away. I have often seen them in nearby grassy areas but I don't remember seeing one in my garden before today. I always have a smile at the antics of the Starlings. I emptied all the ice out of a bird bath and refilled with water. Within a few minutes the Starlings were having a good old splash around in spite of it being all of 1C out there.
Its interesting to watch the garden birds at this time of year as more and more come to feeders. Pied Wagtail a great garden sighting. I think I have seen one in our garden in over 40 years!
ReplyDeleteRagged Robin: As luck would have it the Pied Wagtail came back again today. This time the camcorder was set up and ready.
DeleteYou are sweet to take such good care of the birds, John!
ReplyDeleteEllen: Blushing here. It is very rewarding to see how many wild birds come to take advantage of the food on offer during this cold weather.
