Latin name - Motacilla alba

Any of the 7 to 10 species of the bird genus Motacilla, of the family Motacillidae, together with the forest wagtail (Dendronanthus indicus) of Asia. Wagtails are strongly patterned birds of beaches, meadows, and streamsides; they usually nest on the ground but roost in trees. The birds are so named because they incessantly wag their long tails up and down. The forest wagtail wags its entire body from side to side. Males of the white wagtail (Motacilla alba), common across Eurasia, are variably white and gray or white and black. The variety in Britain is called pied wagtail. The only species reaching the New World is the yellow wagtail (M. flava, sometimes Budytes flavus), which breeds in Alaska and migrates to Asia.

Hoi Gert,
Goed om je weer terug in actie te zien. Ik zie dat ik alweer een foto van je hebt gemist en zal dus staks ff je gallery induiken. Ik moet zeggen dat ik niet had verwacht om een vogel foto van je te zien. Dus de verassing is groot. Het is een prachtig parings moment. En, je de foto is super scherp en perfect belicht.
Groeten,
Niek

P.S. de catagorie moet natuurlijk birds zijn.
