@lionelb@expressional.social because we have a Yellow Wagtail as well. The grey Wagtail has a grey upper and tail, where as the yellow looked like this

@outinthewilds yeah, it’s one of my fave birds. Did you know that after they have young, if one parent loses a chick, they help others in their community to feed their chicks. I think it’s that that make them do so well each year. Wonderful bird species.
@budgegeria @outinthewilds thay are also known as flying teaspoons…
@outinthewilds@mstdn.social great poem. Not seen that before. It’s true that they are almost constantly on the move, but when they perch, you get about a second to focus and take a shot.
@khitomershamster@social.seattle.wa.us it is just time, if you are out a lot like me you’ll learn where best to find certain birds. I have about 5 good reserves within 30 mins of my home so I have learned the best places to go and at what time of year. The end of the day, the more opportunities you give yourself the more change of getting shots…
@_maleficentgirl@troet.cafe absolutely. One of our prettiest woodland birds
@khitomershamster@social.seattle.wa.us that’s the advantage to sub zero days. If there were clouds it wouldn’t be so cold. I’ll take frozen fingers for some decent light any day…
@budgegeria@birdon.social 😂
@lovely_Natur_und_Kultur@cultur.social yeah, sure will. Hope you can post yours too.
@budgegeria@birdon.social 😂
@budgegeria@birdon.social you are making perfect sense today…I agree.
@stephan@them.cheeky.wales excellent, not just one Smew but a few Smew… Any photo is a good photo when it’s a first!. Most of my first sighting photos are a little ropey (panic shots 😂)
@timdesuyo@mastodon.social awesome… Nice work
@stephan whichever you prefer… 😂
@khusky@shmg.online thanks. Living here in the UK I have to apapt to the poor light and variable weather else I wouldn’t get many photos at all 😂. It can be tricky, but I started bird photography in the woods a few years ago, with woodland birds and soon learned the limitations of light and it helped me learn about my camera and how to counter poor light.
@laurel@caneandable.social @nellie_m@autisticpri.de good news. Hope you get to hear and see many this year…
@acm_redfox@jawns.club got a little bit of brown/orange on it… Could be called a pied Nuthatch…
Sleek looking bird.
@basil nice, but thought your fave might be a Bittern with their boom boom calls… 🙄
@Droggelbecher@lemmy.world most possibly…
@kolombiken@front-end.social I’ve no idea, they just do…
