Wagtail




The wagtails have returned!
They usually arrive in April or May
after wintering in the Middle East
or North East Africa.
Busy little birds that I see
everywhere I go.

I'm linking to Wild Bird Wednesday.

    The wagtails are an adorable sign of spring for you. (And very different from any bird I've ever seen.)

    Den har ikke vist seg her, ikke ennå, men den kommer vel.
    Når den kommer er det virkelig vår.
    Takk skal du ha :)
    Ha en flott kveld.

    A wagtail...that is a new one for me. Love the perching atop the pine needles. So pretty. A real cutie pie.

    Beautiful images of the wagtail! Spring comes to us in south Florida like a whisper. I will be heading up north to our second home in Illinois and catch up with the real thing.

    Her føy første linerlen rett i vinduet og knakk nakken.. veldig trist for den er synonymt med vår i hagen.

    Great job, Gunilla. Seems odd to see a wagtail perched atop a conifer. I always imagine them scurrying along the ground searching for insects.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I will return your visit (if I haven't visited you already), but please be patient. I might not be able to do so until the weekend. Take care!
