This was just something that we were not expecting, a Grey Wagtail.
We had been out for seven or eight hours and we were both feeling a bit tired, I decided that we should take a break. Fizz could have a little sleep and I would do some fishing.
I was trying to photograph the fish in the water but it didn’t work very well and then this little bird came and perched on a fallen tree beside us.
Fizz likes to sleep on my lap with her head and front legs resting on my camera arm and if I move that arm she has to wriggle about and jump up and down to get comfortable again. It is so endearing.
This is a male bird. The female looks just the same except that she doesn’t have that black throat/bib.
