    Hi @strelitzia32,

    We loved seeing them .... they felt like "our" birds for a while.

    It looks like it just got out of bed
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Lucky you, have seen Grey Wagtails only in ones.

    @Bee witched  I have Wagtails too.  They have yellow breasts.  Cheeky wee things.  A pleasure to watch trotting about.  I'm getting to know the different European birds, but we seem to have lots of starlings, magpies and pigeons.  A lone robin visits my garden every morning to dine with my hen!  
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

  • @philippasmith2 I suspect you could well be right on the McDonalds theory - lots of easy pickings!
  • @cornelly Thanks. Our wagtail seems to like criss-crossing the lawn in search of stuff, but does occasionally pick up bits that the other birds have dropped from the feeders.
  • @Bee witched What beautiful photos! And such a wonderful thing to be able to witness. They look all lovely and cozy snuggled up in that nest, their parents clearly chose them a good spot. It's lovely that you got to see the parents looking after them and watched them all fledge.

    Our Wagtail has the benefit of a paved area beneath two feeders, and joins other birds feeding there.

    Hi @WillowBark,

    Yes .... it was lovely to have them with us for a short while.
    The nest was quite near to the door of our shed, and the parents were none too happy when we had to go in for something.
