Grey Wagtail: Each day this week the bird has come back to my garden feeders and this time I managed some better images.
These lovely birds are very common in Britain and typically found besides rivers, streams and lakes and are less shy than many other birds of the riverside birds.






Grey wagtails are a very versatile predator, catching small dragonflies on the wing, a variety of insects off the ground, and even fishing tadpoles out of shallow water.

So perhaps its no surprise that this bird has come in to my garden each day this week to pick up split fat balls.
A welcome visitor and one I hope to keep helping out in my garden this winter.
