Yellow wagtail, Moticella flava ssp flava
Continental or "blue headed" wagtail

Oly E-3, 300mm plus 1.4 tc, tripod. iso 200, 1/640s at F5.6, CWM metering, 15% crop from edges

Apologies in my original posting I thought this was ssp Iberiae but its not :mad: - Iberiae have white throats not yellow :rolleyes:

Very nice natural looking image Mike! I was lucky enough to stumble across one of these chaps on my local patch in Gloucestershire a few weeks ago :biggrin: , super looking bird!

Cheers,

Lewis.
