Taken today in mixed weather. Perch is not the best in the world (it is the frame of a sluice winch at the end of a lake) but it is my first capture of a Grey Wagtail so, I took what was there!!!
Grateful for any comments/crits.

Nice first image of a Grey wagtail. I do think the wagtail should have been a bit bigger in the frame and a you stated the perch is not fantastic

Hi Roy
I don't mind the crop, the only thing I would like to have seen would have been the bird a little higher and to the right to include more of that fantastic spider's web!
The bird stands out superbly from the background and I quite like the perch which is a bit different and interesting.
Only nit is the head looks like it could be a little soft,but it's hard to tell at this small size.
An attractive image nevertheless.
