Citrine Wagtail

A last minute decision was made to travel back over the bridge into Yorkshire to catch up with the Citrine Wagtail at Flamborough and have another look at the nearby Rough-legged Buzzard.



When the sun came out there was an explosion of flies flying above the tide rack.  All the Citrine Wagtail had to do was stand there and snap open it's bill and a fly was caught.

 While photographing the Citrine this Woodcock flew in off the sea and almost landed on the wagtail before it settled down to rest after the long sea crossing.  It wasn't though too impressed on all the flies crawling over it while it was trying to get a little shut eye.


 Was a little delayed getting to the Rough-leg site due to the showy wagtail and Woodcock so just missed out on seeing the buzzard at close range but it was still nice in the afternoon sunshine.
