Another tea card from the Portraits of Birds album by C F Tunnicliffe.
Grey Wagtail
GREY WAGTAIL A bird of the swift-running hill streams where it may be seen, during the summer, flashing about the banks and shallows and over the water in its hunt for insects. In rocky banks close to the water it makes its nest of grasses and small thin roots, lined with hair. The bird depicted is a male in summer plumage. Only the male has the black chin and "bib", and this only in summer. In autumn his throat is white. Some grey wagtails migrate in winter, others, where conditions are suitable, stay with us.

Today’s BotD theme is nest builders or small bird, big personality. Will do a bit of both (a few are reposts but they fit the theme, again 😀)

A photograph of a blue tit in flight. This wee. It’s was flying in and out of her new a home, a hole in a massive oak tree. I spent ages on this day and others, watching as she flew in, then out again with bits on her beak. She would fly to another branch, discard, then go back to the hole. Here, I managed to capture her just as she left the hole with her beak full. Her wings are blues, as well as top of her head and tail. Her face is white with black eye stripes and she has a yellow belly. In the background is the oak with a small hole barely visible. A photograph of a coot on a lake. The coot is a small black water bird with a white face shield and beak. Here, the coot is swimming to the left, beak full of reeds ready for the nest. A photograph of a pied wagtail on a path. This wee bird is dancing! Wings up, tail feathers up, head up, losing herself in whatever tune was going through her head. This particular one was white with black stripes and patches, or Amy e black with white stripes and patches. Either way, a cute wee bird with a big personality! A photograph of a long-tail tit in a tree. I’ve posted this one before but definitely needs a repost. Lol. This little bird was leaping off a twig to fly off. I caught it mid leap and it really looks like it was telling me to go away, in less polite language. Another wee bird with a huge personality.

Here are some Estonian #birds.
White wagtail poses on the edge of a graffiti'd structure, preparing to take off. It is mostly white but has grey wings, a black cap on its head, and black under its bill. Hooded crow on a branch. It has a black head, grey upper wings, and is otherwise black. I'm sure it's thinking something smart. A white stork in a substantial nest of little sticks. Hard to see, but there's a baby stork in the nest. Estonian folk belief: if you point at a stork you're gonna get a baby. Kestrel (brown) taking off and leaving a stream of poop behind it.

The willie wagtail is aggressively territorial. It's known to harass much larger birds (including eagles) venomous snakes and humans that wander too close to its nest. Before an assault it flares its white "eyebrows" making it look especially enraged. #animals

Wagtail fact: You can find wagtails on every continent except Antarctica. Because getting out of your nest every day is hard enough WITHOUT living in Antarctica.

Pied wagtail preening, great tit singing, little little grebe getting a fluffy butt and a grey heron eying the coot nest

#Birds #LondonBirds #UKWildlife #UrbanWildlife #NaturePhotography 🦉
A small black and white bird in central in the image, shaking its wings and tail feathers, looking like it’s doing a dance. A great tit stands on a branch, facing to the left and sings his heart out. He is small, with a greyish abdomen, mainly black wings with some green-grey at the top, with white accents, and white cheeks with a grey top of head. A little grebe chick is in a lake, looking to the left. It has an orange beak, and mainly grey-brown feather with some orangy down feathers and white down feathers on its butt. A grey heron stands on a trunk, facing left and peering intently into the vegetation behind it. It has a long beak, and is varying shades (50 shades?) of grey. It has long legs and long wings that droop a bit to the sides.

I assume this is basically the eagle equivalent of a house having borrowers...

...I keep forgettting wagtails are like this. :3
screenshot from the Wikipedia entry on the White Wagtail: "One nest was found in the skull of a walrus. White wagtails will nest in association with other animals; particularly, where available, the dams of beavers and also inside the nests of golden eagles."

Predominantly blue tits & great tits. In the right area may also get pied flycatchers using the same style box. There are other cavity nesting species around but they often like a bigger entrance/box & in the previous 2yrs I've been checking, I've not seen them using this design.

(+BTO info image)
Image from BTO listing birds that like small nest boxes as: blue tit, coal tit, great tit, house sparrow, marsh tit, nuthatch, pied flycatcher, redstart, tree sparrow, willow tit. Open-fronted listed as: pied/white wagtail, robin, spotted flycatcher.

A Grey Wagtail perched on a tree overhanging Dowles Brook in the Wyre Forest yesterday, its mate is close by. Together they were making visits to a nearby derelict building, presumably as a potential nest site. A pair nested here last year. #UKBirding #worcsbirds
A Grey Wagtail perched on a branch at the Wyre Forest on 17th March 2025. The Grey Wagtail is 18 to 19cm long. It has grey upperparts, black wings, yellow underparts and a long black and white tail.

Willie wagtail pictured... these guys could sit in an egg cup just about and they'll literally fight anything that threatens their nest. They're also very good at actually distinguishing what is a threat so they're not aggressive towards humans unless you piss them off
