    Love Wagtails, they seem such cheery, happy chappies. We have a couple of pied ones that nest here regularly. They are so brazen, dipping into the pool as the cats watch, then nonchalantly flying over the water out of reach - cat? what cat? I ain't afraid of no cat!

    We saw a grew wagtail in our garden for a couple of autumn days a few years ago. Think it was a migratory bird having a rest by our pond whilst ‘in transit’. They’re beautiful birds 😊

    We get them round here now and again, but more often it's just the little pied ones. They use all the puddles and random bits of water that are around.  :)
     
    They're all lovely. Hope yours doesn't get killed @NewBoy2...
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    It's a view of  Stob Dearg,  from the Corbett across the road [Beinn a Chrulaiste] 
     
    It's  the first Munro on the ridge of Buachaille Etive Mor. 'The Big Bookil' as we call it here. The Wee Bookil is on it's right :)
    It's probably the most photographed hill in Scotland, after Nevis, just as you enter Glencoe.
