This little Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba), is very difficult to see on a stoney beach and could be another pebble until it moves. I followed this one as it ran along the shoreline. It hopped on the odd, larger stone as if to get a better vantage point or just to rest.
Pied Wagtail (Motacilla alba), West Shore Beach, Llandudno, Wales. April 2017.
Great shots and I can well imagine how hard it would be to spot on a grey stony beach. Love the second shot where the bird seems to be looking straight at you.

This is a first for me. He looks like he might be heading to a formal affair, all dressed up in his best bib and tucker.

You snapped a Waqtail! Since we last spoke of them I have had my eyes peeled more than usual, but have seen nothing.

Gorgeous photos and such a beautiful, cute little bird. I haven’t seen them in stones before so the varieties I have seen on sandy beeches and on new cut lawns could be different.
All your photos are magic.

Thank you very much, Miriam π I have never seen them on the beach until that day. I mainly see them in the park or in urban environments, so this was quite nice to see near the ocean.
