Pied Wagtail

With the days getting hotter the new pond is proving to be a great attraction with the birds. The House Sparrows have now got used to the idea of hopping across the stones in the shallow area so that they can get a drink whilst the Swallows artfully skim across the surface making both us and the frogs jump.

It is however the Pied Wagtails that are the making the most of the pond. I am sure they think they are water birds as when they are not sitting by the water they are bathing in it or paddling in it. It has been very entertaining watching the juvenile Pied Wagtails being shown how to feed in the pond.
