motacilla alba
This pied wagtail was foraging in some bushes for any insects or bugs that happened to be in there. It managed to get something in photo 3 but was walking away from me evertime I tried to get a bit nearer so I'm not quite sure what exactly he caught. Only saw one of these here.
seen on the pathway leading into Las salinas Calpe.
Fair enough, Debbie!
It is the same species, just a different subspecies which happens to have a different name. I just wanted to point out this difference but the id was spot on!
Hi Pedro, I have the scientific name in already so will just change the common name
Hello once again Debbie,
This one is actually a White Wagtail (M. a. alba), a different subspecies from Britain's Pied Wagtail (M. a. yarrelli).
