The White Wagtails (Motacilla alba) are back in droves... and looking great in their fresh spring plumage! Another one of those birds that is resident in much of western Europe, but a summer bird in these parts. In mid-winter rare but a few can be found. #BirdingHungary #wagtails #BirdsSeenIn2026

Malaysia birding trip 3/4/2025: Grey Wagtail, they breed in Eurosiberia and migrating to tropical regions in Asia & Africa. This bird was not easy to photograph; very skittish, tiny & it was raining. #greywagtail #wagtails #birds #birdwatching #wildlife #birdtrip2025

It feeds on insects and lives in open, wet habitats. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Ten subspecies are recognised.

Great Daniel and beautiful young White Wagtail!
Here's one of many fluffy juvenile Pied Wagtails on the wall surrounding my holiday cottage at St Aldhelm's Head in Purbeck, Dorset a few weeks back.

How about a #WagtailWednesday ? 😄 Here is a juvenile White Wagtail (Motacilla alba). We are now into post-breeding dispersal so these young #wagtails are all over the place. #BirdingHungary #birds

From a recent trip to Southern Spain, the Western Yellow Wagtail is a common bird without borders, with most migrating through temperate Europe and Asia, south to tropical Africa and southern Asia for the winter.

🌍🌏 White wagtail (Motacilla alba) The white wagtail is a small and slender bird, with distinctive grey, black, and white plumage. Its most recognizable feature is its long, constantly wagging tail. It has a vast distribution, breeding across Europe, Asia, and parts of North Africa, with some populations in Alaska. While resident in milder areas, many northern populations are migratory, wintering in Africa and southern Asia. White wagtails are highly active and often found in open areas, frequently near water or human habitation. They forage on the ground with a characteristic bobbing head and tail movement. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Up to eleven subspecies are recognised.

One for #SundayYellow .. Western Yellow Wagtail... the nominate subspecies aka Blue-headed Wagtail (Motacilla flava flava). Of course there's a stick in the way! 😄 So many of these around, you'd think I could get one decent shot,. No way! 🤪 #BirdingHungary #wagtails #birds #yellow #MellowYellow

#Mayfly doing their dance over the East lawn … RiverForth is less than half a mile away so it is not completely madness. They always seem to do it at that spot each year. #Wagtails are very happy…
