Young White Wagtail
The first clutch of baby wagtails have left their nests and started following the parents around begging for food. They're much shyer than the parent birds but today I managed to get a pretty nice close-up of one while it perched on a fence close to me (click to enlarge):

In the autumn the parents seem to put up with them until they're almost grown but I suspect the chicks in this first clutch of the season don't get spoiled for nearly as long.
