    Default Pied Wagtail - Motacilla alba

    Perky little blighters, and never stand still... I reckon they are caffeine addicts Despite that one of these 2 little birds actually stopped still a couple of times for me. I couldn't be bothered to cut down the selection any more

    That first pic is especially good. Louise!

    Thanks, Catherine - and yes, it's a small, unused churchyard (well I suspect that most Churchyards are pretty much unused now. I was so very lucky with the first one. I have so often tried to get a god shot of one of these little blighters but they just never keep still, so for this one to both come reasonably close and stop long enough for me to snap was fantastic!
