A senior moment the other evening. The wagtail was a Blue-headed Wagtail not a Grey-headed Wagtail. These things happen as you get older. It was still a nice bird. Of equal interest that night were the half dozen or so apparent female yellow wagtails which were biometrically much larger in weight, wing length and physical appreance. Very white on the chin and facial markings quite different from the yellow wagtails which we caught that evening. Young Yellow Wagtails vary considerably but these birds were quite different.
Hopefully this week we can catch some more and unravel the mystery. The weather looks favourable mid-week to the end of the week
