    Default Wagtail on the Wing

    Well he was and it's a very pretty tune.
    Here he swoops down to see the lady take a look and then flies away.
    She did catch up with him but they were a bit too fast for that shot.
    Sorry the pictures aren't too good the birds were a bit out of range but most of the wing detail but can be seen.

    The quality may not be perfect but that doesn't matter - it captures the essence of the creature (ooh, doesn't that sound all arty?!).. anyway, I don't have any extra lenses so it's better than I would be able to do on anything but birds who are used to humans. It gives me a good insight into the actions/movement of birds that I may well not be able to see. Keep up the good work.

    I agree. Louise, very arty
    I thought it a good idea to show the wingspan and decor
