Picture of a Pied Wagtail on an old post, about to fly offRegular visitors to this blog might recognise the post seen from the old hide at RSPB Loch Gruinart, it’s the same a Snipe sat on previously (1, 2). This time a Pied Wagtail landed on it, although it didn’t stay around for long. After less than a minute it was getting ready to fly off again, here starting to stretch its wings.
