Aaah, pretty little bird. It's always nice to see something unusual in the garden.

Hi Ollie,

I think it may be a male grey wagtail - we saw one in Helford last weekend.
Really pretty bird with long tail, perhaps a little 'slimmer' than the pied wagtails.

Yes, I would say it was a Grey Wagtail too. The Yellow ones are only here between April and October. My bird books also says that in winter the Grey Wagtail's chin and throat is whitish.

Still nice to see it though.

We've a family of the pie-bald variety living in our roof. I love watching them scoot over the ground chasing bugs. It's funny when both the chooks and wags go for the same fly.
