I was trying to get a shot of adult wagtails collecting horse hair for their nest when this little chap became curious about me. Enjoy.

Ah, he's a lovely. Maybe he's a young 'look out' in training, assigned to keep an eye on you or maybe he was admiring your hair.

Wonderfully crisp shot! I love the way he's using his tail feathers for balance. Well done Robert, your patience really does pay off on getting these shots.

Amazing capture with such perfect clarity and detail! The soft, clear blue makes a most pleasing background. I love the simple, yet effective presentation.

Well he looks like he's in a precarious position. What a terrific shot Robert! Good detail, clarity and composing. He's quite a cutie, with that high raised tail and fluffy feathers - and he's keeping his eye on you. A splendid view against that beautiful blue sky. This is a keeper and should get high marks. Thanks for this lil guy :^>

So simple yet so lovely.

I found a horse hair bird's nest a couple of years ago and, as it had fallen to the ground, I collected it and brought it inside. It's quite an adorable little thing, much like your bird :o)

What a cutie, I don't recall ever seeing a juvenile before. Did I mention that my Aunt once told me she has seen them pull hair out of peoples scalps to build nests? They certainly are bold...
