Snow on the ground seems to bring out the Wagtails !
This friendly little chap spent all day in the back garden posing.

Would have liked the image to have been larger, but hey, there is still sufficient. An excellent capture, not easy to get detail in these birds, invariably it’s always a trade off between the blacks and whites. Does look a tad stressed, stretched neck.

All in all, an excellent capture, well seen and taken.

Lovely little birds Gary and the freezing snow sets things off nicely.
Why not make use of the image size max. I am sure it would look even better. :smile:

Nice, good composition and I like the blue shadow in the background. Sets the bird off nicely.

I think this works very well. Very difficult exposure. Nicely done!

Very nice indeed. Sunshine and snow in this country, who would've believed it?
