Citrine Wagtail juv / First winter

what colour is its mantle? fine details often only revealed at very close range -- now to find one in Lincs

Citrine Wagtail accept or not?

would any committee accept on these images -- is this underwing pattern typical?

educational Citrine Wagtail

from what I can see I took about 1000 photos of this bird yesterday! why? well I suppose because it was close and the first juv I have seen since 1983!!! - silly but true -- a supporting cast of Little Bunting, a few Yellow-browed Warblers, Great White plastic bag, Arctic Warbler - briefly and some nice energetic walking made for a tiring day -- lots to sort -- its all Spurn's fault -- really need to get out and do some work but its October

Citrine Wagtails

one species I really wanted to catch up with was Citrine Wagtail; having only ever seen one in Britain in 1983, yes should have gone for others, and not having seen one anywhere since the early 90's needed to reacquaint with calls and also nice to hear males singing - not as distinctive as I expected and certainly not as obvious as the call -- a few different birds here -notable variations in crown and nape patterns of males, possibly age related? not looked it up yet ---  a shame that the best day for the birds was one of the worst for wind so they were not perching up -- so another trip over and a place to revisit -- roll on Alberta --
