Walk back from town

A wander back through Cradle End, Green Street and Millfield Lane gave views of only regular birds: long tailed tit, goldfinch, yellowhammer, corvids etc + 15 fieldfare. However, a quick check on the River Ash gave great views of what I had hoped for, a grey wagtail. The conditions of this habitat were perfect so a bird I expected to see. A wait of ten minutes was all that was required before this stunning male arrived. Shallow river, exposed vegetation and mud, just what this species requires.

A new bird for the year.
