Yellow Wagtail - Motacilla flava
Canon 600mm f4 1/4000th @ iso400
Returning to the U.K. most likely from Africa having migrated there to avoid the winter months, the Yellow Wagtails arrive to the same field year after year before dispersing to breed in the surrounding fields.
Quite approachable birds they provide a real dash of vibrant colour to the countryside.
Another bird which is declining in numbers and another Red List bird, as I typed I wondered how many birds are actually on the Red List so I googled it and the current number is 73 species.
