A diary of my wildlife encounters.
By Mike Lawrence
Wagtails - Wire - & - Water. May 2011.
A selection of Yellow Wagtail images from the last few days, I had been concentrating on just the Yellows'. The image above portrays a very yellow headed bird,probably at the extreme yellowness of flavissima rather than 'Lutea'. It showed on a few ocassions normally in a submissive stance due to the dominant male flavissima.
The resident female posturing a readyness to mate when a male appeared. And preening after a welcome bath.
Walking the high wire !
This bird has a such a yellow head lacking the green tones, a real beauty.
My attempt to get some hovering shots bagged me a few half decent images.
