Motacilla citreola (TUR: Sarıbaşlı Kuyruksallayan, ENG: Citrine Wagtail):This is one of four species of the genus Motacilla in Turkiye.

Other species are:
* Motacilla flava – Sarı Kuyruksallayan (Yellow Wagtail)
* Motacilla cinerea – Dağ Kuyruksallayanı (Grey Wagtail)
* Motacilla alba – Ak Kuyruksallayan (Pied Wagtail).

I saw all these species in Zonguldak. The rarest one is this Citrine Wagtail. Only this year I could capture it and want to share with you. This beautifull bird also from Sazköy.

Hope you like.

Hello Mustafa,
Excellent capture of this beautiful species of Motacilla. I like its pose, details are sharp and colours natural although the summer colours are not yet fully developed. Fine soft background that makes it stand out too.
Many thanks, Ulla

Nadir sarıbaşlıyı duvar üzerinde çok iyi yakalamışsın Mustafa, baskın renklenmesi geriplan renkleriyle de yine mükemmel uyumlu olmuş, ellerine sağlık dostum.

Hi Mustafa,

Very good shot of Citrine Wagtail (Sitruuna Västäräkki in Finnish). This is very rare anywhere in Western Europe. Nice sharp details and bright colours.

Thanks for sharing
