But on occasions, it scampered closer!
And eventually onto the grass where there was a hope of it leaving the record shot zone?
One of three Yellow Wags keeping it company....
Closer still....
But never really quite achieving close enough!
Not that I'm grumbling with these last few (although it took an inordinate amount of time to get these!!)
And a final pose on the mud before it flew.....
Most of the chit chat and banter was about the status of this gorgeous little bird. It's a hybrid between Motacilla flava (continental 'Blue-headed') and Motacilla flavissima (our 'Yellow') wagtails. You can't tick it of course but you can point your bins, scope or camera at it and enjoy this lovely freak of nature.....
