Garden sightings 15/12/12

White wagtails

White wagtails have been seen more often this Autumn and because of the frosts we've had the wagtails have came into the town and as a result only 2 pied wagtails which breed each year haven't been seen near the house. Although 15- 25 white wagtails arive in the Autumn  this is the first year i've seen them around.
