Garden Wagtail

Finally! The rusty bit of metal I'd stuck in the ground in the garden and repeatedly tripped over did what it was intended to do. The recent heavy snowfall had attracted the annual garden wagtails a month or two earlier than usual and they took kindly to my slighlty contrived perch. Interestingly, its actually a barbed wire stake dating back to WW2 that my dad metal detected...ok, maybe thats not that interesting!
