Motacilla alba
This is quite a familiar black and white little bird that keeps bobbing its long tail. Found in various habitats, it appears to get quite used to people, especially in urban environments like towns and cities. I followed this lively one along a pebbly beach before it found this rock to sit on for a better view. Common and widespread throughout Britain, it mainly feeds on insects.

Love them! There’s always a couple in the car park at our supermarket, and they march around so beautifully then do a sudden little dash when they think they’ve spotted a fly. Great shot Pete!

Thank you, Jude 🙂 We used to have them in the garden some years ago, but have seen none since. They are always a joy to see.

Nice!
We used to get wagtails all the time at our spot, hopping all over the lawn their tails bobbing up and down. Don’t see them much any more and I suspect it is because of the Mynahs that took up res. here. And they are very territorial.
