Yellow Wagtail

Hi all,

Opened my 'Yellow Wagtail account' for the year this morning, absolutely love this species and its great to see them back. Taken at sunrise on salt marsh along the Severn estuary.

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

The shallow DOF works extremely well here and the contrasting colours are really very nice..

I love this species as well, and you have really done it justice with this low viewpoint.
