The pale PIED WAGTAIL









Two Dave Hutchinson images taken of the same first-summer female PIED WAGTAIL - just look how its appearance changes between pictures. This individual has far too much dark grey on the flanks for a White Wagtail and critically has jet-black rump and uppertail coverts. Always a challenging identification, even in spring when it should be easy !
