YELLOW WAGTAILS

   Yesterday I popped over to Minsmere after hearing about the Yellow Wagtails that had appeared there on their way to various breeding grounds across England. These birds winter in Africa and arrive in this country each spring with the males in their bright yellow plumage.
   The birds at Minsmere were quite mobile flitting between the Konic field and the levels where the ponies were grazing but eventually they came close enough for some photographs and at one point I counted five birds in close proximity to me.
