Wags, Chats and Pipits

Nice to get a tick on the first of the month. Namely a Blue-headed Wagtail and a Yellow Wagtail, which is an extinct breeding species in Ireland and many moons ago was a breeding species along the shores of Lough Corrib. Very similar bird to the Grey Wagtail. Good to see the Stonechat at Barna Pier also, hope it won't be to hard a winter on these beautiful birds.
