Looking out of my window the other day, after it had been snowing, I became aware of a small bird which I`d not see in the garden before. It stayed pecking about for quite a while, and wasn`t bothered by the starlings and blackbirds who were all bigger that it was.
The next day, it appeared at about the same time again, and again today. So I got my camera out and tried to get some photos of it through the window. I didn`t want to go outside with the camera for fear of frightening it away. I`m not sure what it is. I`ll have to get a bird book to try and find out. It`s quite quick moving and is quite prettily marked.

It's a wagtail. I'd say a white wagtail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Wagtail) but not quite sure. What I am sure of is that it's rather lost - it should be way down south in the warm chasing insects, not in the snow eating seeds...
Thanks Eija.
I`d wondered if it was a wagtail, but having a pale yellow face (which doesn`t show up too well on the photo) I wasn`t sure, as the ones I`d seen before were just black and white.
good pics :)
I was about to say eija might know but she beat me to it!
