Pied Wagtail (adult)

WAOUHHHH perfect this portrait

Thanks for this Roland. I see that you are not averse to taking the odd wild bird portrait yourself :)

Cheers, Herb

A lovely bird. Great composition and focus!

Thanks Rainer. Something a little different from my usual land/seascapes. Glad you liked it.

Cheers, Herb

We usually get a couple of pied wagtails in the garden sometime during the year Herb. I love to watch them and your picture caught my eye first thing this morning! Superb shot.
Cheers, Rosa.

Nice that you too enjoy seeing such wonderful birds as these Rosa. Although we have many birds visit our garden I have never seen a wagtail here. Glad you liked it.

Cheers, Herb

An excellent shot Herb and many thanks for posting to Fur, Fin and Feather.

Glad you liked it Jeff. A bird that I suspect you have seen many times.

Cheers, Herb

A very nice close-up, Jeff !

Thanks Ulrich. My pleasure to share.

Cheers, Herb

Nice catch Herb , its not easy to get so close to wagtails like this- well done. I've noticed here in Wigan a lot more grey ones than pied recently, until now its always been the other way about, so its nice to see a Pied wagtail!

Hi Richard. I don't think that I have knowingly ever seen a grey wagtail before. I shall have to watch out for them now I have looked up what they look like. These pied wagtails are certainly numerous here in Lancashire especially on and near the River Ribble. Glad you liked it.

Cheers, Herb

Great shot Herb. These never seem to to stay still for long enough for me to get a decent shot. Neil.

Cheers Neil -I know what you mean about them not staying still. I took a two or three but the other were all movement blurred. I was lucky here. Glad you liked it. ~Herb

Great. I see sometimes a kind of white wagtail, it has a longer tail, but same colours.

Thanks Danni. Happy that you have enjoyed this one. I know that there are a few types of 'wagtail'. Certainly good to watch.

A delightful image Herb............such a delicate looking bird. Great focus on the eye and depth of field.

Thanks Keith. As you say it does look delicate indeed. A rare photo with my Nikon 55-300. This taken at its max of 300mm which in old money equates to a whopping 450mm on my crop camera. No tripod used here as it was done on the fly -so to speak and so a wonder that it is as good as this - but I am reminded now that I pushed the iso to 1000 and so it was shot at a fast 1/640th at F8 so maybe, it should be ok except for a little noise. Glad you enjoyed it. ~ Herb

Nice detail when viewed full size Herb ... very well taken indeed

Best wishes ... Steve
