Grey Wagtail

Motacilla cinerea

The Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea) is a small, slender bird with a long tail and distinctive yellow underside. It is commonly found near fast-flowing streams and rivers, where it can be seen bobbing its tail and flitting from rock to rock in search of aquatic insects. This species is known for its melodious, high-pitched song and acrobatic flight patterns. Grey Wagtails are primarily insectivorous and are known to nest in crevices near water sources. They are highly adaptable and can be found in both rural and urban areas across their range.
