Wag that Tail

Cold crisp start to the day today, at the livery yard (minus 2c actually).

As I got out of the car a pair of Wagtails appear scavenging for food. So I took the above picture.

The Wag Tail is a delightful small, long-tailed and rather sprightly black and white bird.

When not standing and frantically wagging its tail up and down it can be seen dashing about over lawns or car parks in search of food. It frequently calls when in its undulating flight and often gathers at dusk to form large roosts in city centres.

They can be found across the UK, leaving some of the highland and northern areas of Scotland in winter. Best looked for near water and can be found in most habitats, even town centers. They gather together in large roosts, sometimes in towns, often assembling on roofs beforehand.
