Wagtail

Not sure if this is a pied wagtail or a white wagtail - but he sat on that wire and sang and sang and didn't seem to mind my watching and chirping back to him. Here he is looking sleek, but in between singing he was scratching and preening himself, and all the photos after this one show him increasingly fluffy and dishevelled.

Funny how you can go for days struggling to find a worthy blip and then you have a day when there are half a dozen possibilities. Today's one of those days - but it has been a beautiful day: deep blue sky, warm and almost windless. Lots of butterflies about today, too. (Didn't make it to the sea for a swim, unfortunately, but maybe another day.)

Apologies for my limited comments at the moment - exceedingly busy on the work and domestic fronts - but I'll try and catch up as soon as I can. Thanks for looking in! :-)
