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):

Great pic.

Wonder how long the parents will put up with their bumming? :o)

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

Are those babies particularly noisy? We once had a juvenile robin show up at the parents' new nest on our balcony and were alerted by the ongoing racket!
