While Ollie’s been walking me alongside the River Whiteadder,here in the Scottish Borders,we’ve come across several pairs of Pied Wagtails.Like most birds at this time of year,they’ll be laying claim to territories,bonding,mating and looking to start a family.
Here’s a few images of some of the individuals that we’ve come across in the past week or so.
As I am uploading these images I look outside and see icy,sleet being blown against the window.The early summer type weather has given way to arctic winter conditions and all of those birds’ plans are going to have to be put on hold,for a while anyway.
