Larks, Pipits and Wagtails - The Blue-headed Wagtail

First seen on Tuesday 26th April 2022 at Druridge Pools

Yellow Wagtails come in a variety of sub-species or races. This is one is race flava and has a grey blue head, rather than the normal yellow head of the British race flavissima. This one was on the Budge Fields, and like many wagtails, near livestock, as this attracts the insects for them to feed on.
