Pied wagtail on flotsam island, Bridgnorth

Pied wagtail on flotsam island, Bridgnorth

The temporary island on the upstream edge of Bridgnorth bridge, formed by flotsam brought down by the persisting high river levels, was still getting bigger last time I visited the town.

This time there were two species of wagtails hopping over the fallen trees, probably in search of insects to eat.

A grey wagtail, perhaps the bird I had pictured on a previous visit, was only around when I didn’t have my camera out. This pied wagtail was more obliging.

There was also a pair of mallards, looking like they had taken up residence.
