Initially distant it flew across to near the track ... but into a shady area ...
... the characteristic long hind-claw was surprisingly easy to discern as it picked its way across the mud ...
... and even closer as it fed seemingly unconcerned behind the hedge just a few meters away ...
... when a Pied Wagtail came close that bird looked so much larger and more robust than the Eastern Yellow Wagtail ...
... strikingly pale grey with just a hint of yellow near the vent and the alula ...
... as the sun gained a little height the colour tones showed better as the bird fed incessantly ...
... and eventually it called again ... a note with a distinctly rasping quality ...
