Grey Wagtail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) is a small member of the wagtail family, Motacillidae. The species looks similar to the Yellow Wagtail but has the yellow on its underside restricted to the throat and vent. Breeding males have a black throat. The species is widely distributed, with several populations breeding in Europe and Asia and migrating to tropical regions in Asia and Africa. They are usually seen on open marshy ground or meadows where they walk solitarily or in pairs along the ground, capturing insects that are disturbed. Like other wagtails, they frequently wag their tail and fly low with undulations and they have a sharp call that is often given in flight.

Hi Jose.
What a lovely picture, cute bird and splendid surroundings (bokeh). Amazing composition, wonderful colours, great combination of sharpness of the main character and blurriness of the BG. My compliments and best wishes.
Alexei.
