Eastern yellow wagtail ~ Motacilla tschutschensis
Record shot and a 'Mega tick' for me... This little fella has been hanging around the WWT Steart Marshes reserve for a few days now. They would normally be over wintering in Asia, Indonesia and Northern Australia, but a few find themselves in Blighty.
I never thought I had much chance of seeing it. When I got there I could see a bunch of blokes with scopes staring off into the distance. I walked over for a chat… It had been seen earlier, but had now flown down the other end of the field and vanished behind a reed bed. Glad I stuck it out a tad longer, 'cos half an hour later it landed a few yards in front of me. :@)
