Venus Pool - Yellow Wagtail

Whilst Summer visitors are not exactly pouring in, there is at least a steady trickle! My first Yellow Wagtail of the year, a cracking male was as obliging as one could ask for......

For once, the Gulls worked in my favour by flushing it off the mud and onto the grassy bank in front of the hide!

A clean background (the one and only chance)

Full frontal posing.....

Plus the rear view!

In search of insects -  and there were plenty!

Like this Hoverfly.....

Not to mention the odd Crane Fly!

The light was perfect and perhaps my best ever opportunity here?

A wader or two would be nice but I'm off to Devon for a week on the talk trail.....
