The wagtail
is, as you know, one of my absolute favorite birds. It looks good, is friendly
towards other birds, as far as I know and is keen on being close when we are
out in the garden. It has even befriended our grass cutting robot and follows
it around.
This summer
alone I have probably about two, three hundred pictures of the couple that has
its nest under one of the roof tiles. We think that it is the same couple that
has stayed there several years now.
Yesterday I
noticed that one of the birds was unusually excited and it took me only a few
minutes to find out why. One of the newborns had landed on the ground and was
unable to get up in the nest again. It sat helpless in a corner behind a small
stone and called out for food and attention. I took a couple of pictures and
moved quickly away. A couple of hours later it was gone and I hope it was not a
predator of some sort that had found it.
