Beautiful picture! I like very much 🙂
🙂 Thank you!
Great photo – it looks much darker than our local Grey Wagtails. Since my employer blocked external downloads I’ve been unable to use my proper cameras – and I’m kicking myself, on recent walks I’ve got within 10 paces of fabulous Yellow Wagtails.
Thanks. Lack of an eyes tripe and the black bib makes a real difference.
Despite the lockdown I’ve not any real bird watching/photography – concentrating on riding my bike in gloriously empty roads.
Too right – I went on main roads that i’d usually avoid – ironically a pothole smashed up a back wheel the day before the road was repaired!
Ouch! Sorry to hear that.
I bashed my elbow a couple of weeks ago, it was not too painful so I continued to ride my bike on short (1-1:30hrs) with seeming no problem. Did a near 4hr ride earlier in the week, unfortunately it looks as if I’ve aggravated it enough to give myself phlebitis, (Doc’s telephone assessment) so I need to keep off the bike for a bit.😠I’m going to have to watch the squirrels raid my feeders as I use my exercise bike no handed!
That bird looks just like the American Robin but ours has a orange breast while yours is yellow
You have gray wagtails in the us but of a different race. Your American robin is Thrush type bird – a bit like our blackbird (which is all black) . Our Robin is a much smaller bird with a red breast and a thin beak.
