White Wagtails can be spotted almost everywhere. I have managed to photograph it at the Baltic coast, among fields, at the edge of the forest, at the shore of Warta or outside human habitats. It is a small and quite timid bird. Its wingspan is around 30 centimeters with a body mass of 20-30 grams. Nonetheless, it is very characteristic due to its tail's “nervous”moves and black and white coloration.

Lying down persistently and waiting for the Little Crake, the Spotted Crake, the Water Rail and Plovers, in the late afternoon, after several hours of waiting, I suddenly spotted Corn Buntings, White Wagtails and Western Yellow Wagtails. The majority of them were young. Although I had some other plans, I decided that a better thing to do would be observation and doing close-ups of these species rather than capturing an empty landscape or very distant, even more awaited species. White Wagtails and Western Yellow Wagtails, or, more specifically, their young accepted my camouflage to such an extent that one of them, feeding near the hide, moved to a place right in front of my lenses searching for food. It was literally within arm’s reach. Thus the galleries of Wagtails and Corn Buntings have changed, while I’m still waiting for the Spotted Crake and the Little Crake, which I finally didn’t manage to photograph. Well, at least this time...

When I was photographing the Common Sandpipes, Northern Wheatears, and the Common Shelducks at the seaside, I could spot the White Wagtails very often. They were seating calmly on the shore. I didn’t disturb them and I could take several portrait photo of the Wagtails. This contributed to a significant change to the whole gallery in the process of perfecting the presention of the species.
