Wagtail in spring - on branch and while collecting food

in Feathered Friends2 months ago

Wagtails are some more common birds and I see them from time to time, mostly in springs summer and autumn. They are attracted to places with water and spots with nice grassland. When I go for a bird watching trip I often see them at the gravel spots of the rivers looking for small invertibrates or other insectes they can find there. They also like to find their food in the mud when the tide is low on rivers and lakes.

Nice captures! Funnyt, it's very rare here to see them perched in branches, they're usually always on the ground.
