Black-headed Yellow Wagtail

Description:

This is a sub-species of Yellow Wagtail which normally breeds in the Balkans/Black Sea area and winters in East Africa or south Asia. Its migration route would normally be via Egypt and Israel. A couple of these were mixed in with a large flock of Blue-headed Yellow Wagtails, another sub-species which migrates between sub-Saharan Africa and Central Europe via the Strait of Gibraltar and the Spanish east coast.

Habitat:

Feeding on freshly cleared vegetable plot during a migratory stopover.

Notes:

This is my 1900th spotting for Project Noah.
