I thought it was a wheatear (http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/w/wheatear/index.asp)
but not exactly the same eye markings :shrug:
It looks like a Yellow Wagtail to me:thinking: - Possibly a Female as the Male has more Yellow.

Yeah, having looked a bit closer - it is more like the Grey or even could be the Blue headed wagtail. The head on the one in your photo looks a tad darker than that of a Grey. ummm, not sure now.:shrug:
Soo a wagtail, they were certainly doing that, so that's a cert, but
One vote for a yellow
One 1/2 votes for grey
1/2 for blue
...? any more ?
hmm thought it was a grey wagtail but it seems to have more black on
I'll stick with Grey having seen the video in Janice's link.
I go with Oy 100% Grey Wagtail, good bird recognition site,http://www.birdguides.com/html/vidlib/species/Motacilla%5Fcinerea.htm
