Bungalow Guard - Grey Wagtail

Have a look for more bird pictures at the Bird Photography Weekly @ Birdfreak.

Grey Wagtail (Motacilla cinerea)
Perched at a sign post near the Pekan Bungalow, stood and preening there, as if guarding the place.

I saw a few of this bird species in three locations at Fraser's Hill yesterday. This one was so 'tame' and allowed me to take the pictures from about 20 feet. So, the picture quality was much better than my first encountered two weeks ago.

What a pretty bird, I love the yellow coloring on its belly.

Great photos - nice that you were able to get so close.

That second shot is super Tabib. The bird looks much different than it does in the first shot where it is kind of crouched down. It's just as cute though ;-)

Great shots, Tabib! It looks very similar to the Yellow Wagtail I just saw here in the Philippines.

Nice close-ups!

I like the first shot. It would provide a good ID challenge to pose for budding bird watchers.

He is a beauty. I agree with Gallicissa and like the first one best, but the second is another great look at him.
