Wildlife Photographic Journals (2009-05-09 10:24) 1 Citation Yellows in Peril I had my first attempt at photographing yellow wagtails last year which was not particularly successful. Given that the time of year had come around again I thought I would try again. The male birds are really stunning and unfortunately a species that has shown huge declines across the UK, mainly as a result of changes in agricultural practices. It would be a great shame to lose them as the yellow headed variety is virtually exclusive to the UK. Not the most camouflaged of g, technorati.com

1 Citation On our walk this morning we saw a very active Willie Wagtail , flitting around in the early morning sun gathering his breakfast. As we approached I noticed something different. It didn?t look normal. As it flew past quite close to us I realised that it had no tail. In fact, it looked quite dumpy, not at all like a Willie Wagtail. It still managed some nifty aerobatics as it gathered its morning food. Needless to say I didn?t have a camera with me, so below is a photo of a normal looking Wil, technorati.com

1 Citation Bit of action up at the pit this week, a Wood Sandpiper spent a couple of days up on the big water. Nice attractive bird, sleeker than the common-er sandpipers, and fairly rare on passage, so a good standard noteworthy tick any year. Brought a few county birders up to our splendid little patch. Wheatear , Yellow Wagtail , still add flavour, and the Reed Bunting vid comes from Pleasley too. Today I spent my lunchtime in the gardens at Hardwick Hall, and do you know I saw just the bird I we, technorati.com
