Yellow Wagtails

During July I made a concerted effort to get some shots of some Yellow Wagtails which were using local muck heaps to feed from. Sadly they favored the heap of sewage farm waste so the smell was unpleasant!

Posted better sized shots below - uploaded them to gallery on here first and not linked straight from Flickr!


This was the first time I'd used some camo netting as a very portable hide and I was really pleased with how little I disturbed the birds - I had a juvenile Pied Wagtail sit on my boot at one point.

The lighting wasn't always too good and the very dark background gave me some problems.


All in all I was quite pleased with the experiment!

The photos look great but could you post slighly larger versions? Would love to be able to look at them properly. :)
 
Colours look good, nice detail, but agree with the above post larger versions would enhance the photographs.
 
Whoops thanks both - I'll have a look at the guide to posting - I'd linked straight from Flickr which looked OK on the preview but not on the full post
 
Try again for better file sizes:
