Designer Bird - Pied Wagtail

View Large

These are the birds you usually see dicing with death as they run in-between cars in shopping car parks! They're insect eaters by trade & are often seen on roof tops catching flies, they also communal roost & esp in towns, on many occasion I've walked through Exeter city centre at dusk & looked up at the trees in the high street which are covered in chattering flitting about wagtails!

Every year they spend the Winter with us, usually with last years family, I've counted 5 altogether in the last few months. No insects at the moment so they've developed a taste for seeds & make an excellent living here! :)

My mum calls them 'Designer Birds' hence the title!
