In honour of the long staying Eastern Yellow Wagtail (16 days to date) on my patch I resurrect this blog and hope to maintain concentration long enough to be of interest. Colour of the bird very much influenced by the weather but in good sunlight the underside is certainly tinged in yellow. Feeding pretty much constantly on blood worms in the same field it is moving with the Pied Wagtails so can go missing but at least will get warning of predator attack. As for humans, not remotely worried about them and have been as close as five feet when it came into the hedge in front of me.
Nice to catch up with Carolyn, Maria, Dick and all the visitors. Wishing you all a very good New Year and expect the Carr to be a bit busy tomorrow morning.
