2 Common Terns were resting up on the spit and a Willow Warbler was singing on the west bank as we made our way down the west side, over the railway and onto the meadow. I spied a couple of wagtails at the far side of the western meadow, one of which looked suitably pale grey enough for a closer look. Sure enough, a nice White Wagtail was happily feeding, allowing a quick record shot just before my daughter managed to become stuck in a muddy pool and fall over, drenching herself and flushing the bird! So we had to bid a hasty retreat to the washing machine.
Hoping for a better record, but this was one of 2 shots taken before it flew off. You can just about see the concolorous pale grey mantle and rump/upper tail.
