Young White Wagtail

[turlough]

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):

What a lovely bird! I hadn't heard of a wagtail before.

I love wagtails! They're so elegant and so much fun to watch. They're very common here in Sweden, particularly in smaller towns and suburbs with lots of parks and gardens.
