info

The Grey Wagtail, another new species in my gallery. It was taken in the beautiful Polish mountains in the company of three-toed woodpecker and coal tit. And all that thanks to Roman’s help and courtesy (thank you and best regards). Unluckily the woodpecker appeared only once and it was sitting  too high for me to take interesting pictures. The Wagtail preyed by the mountain stream but it kept quite considerable distance. I photographed it without camouflaging, sitting quietly in one place hardly any change in the position. Wingspan of the Grey Wagtail reaches almost 30 centimeters and its weight is about 20 grams. Well, here we have first pictures of the bird and I managed to record its voice. Unfortunately there was too little light to take dynamic images as the forest I photographed in was rather dense, it was an hour after sunrise, and it would be better if the distance was smaller a bit.

I have added some photos of the grey wagtail. Unluckily it was raining when I was wandering through  the forest in search of a ring ouzel. Unsuccessfully, and this species of bird is still to discover for me. Instead from time to time I could hear and see grey wagtails along the creek and this is how the pictures enriching the gallery of the species on my website were taken.
