White Wagtail

Motacilla alba

Description:

The call of the white wagtail is a sharp chisick, slightly softer than the version given by the pied wagtail. The song is more regular in white than pied, but with little territorial significance, since the male uses a series of contact calls to attract the female

Habitat:

White wagtails are residents in the milder parts of its range such as western Europe and the Mediterranean, but migratory in much of the rest of its range. Northern European breeders winter around the Mediterranean and in tropical and subtropical Africa,[24] and Asiatic birds move to the Middle East, India,[19] and Southeast Asia.[25] Birds from the North American population also winter in tropical Asia.
