Wagtails.

In the days before all this rain came Ollie and I spent some more time down by the River Whiteadder photographing the Pied and Grey Wagtails.We sat quietly on the bank,focused on a couple of rocks protuding above the river and waited for the birds to stop off, on the rocks, as they went about their foraging for food,for themselves and their young in the nest.I’m not sure where the Pieds’ are nesting but the Greys’ nest is only about 25 yards from where the Peregrines are nesting.Either very brave,foolish or they come under the umbrella of protection of the peregrines,as they scare off all other predators,like the crows and jackdaws,in the area.

Anyway here are some images of these very attractive little birds.

About Phil Mclean

Hi, my name is Phil Mclean. I'm a nature photographer living in Berwickshire,in the Scottish Borders.I enjoy photographing all aspects of nature,from the birds and the bees,to the mammals and the trees. I just love being out in the countryside whenever possible and preferably with a camera. Although I do make it difficult for myself,as I'm normally accompanied by my photographic assistant, Ollie,my springer spaniel dog. I hope you'll enjoy the pictures that I post and if you have the time and the inclination,please leave a comment. Thanks.
