Eastern Yellow Wagtail, ツメナガセキレイ

 Suddenly a lot of yellow-colored wagtails landed in the fields. Maybe 30 or more. Below some images

The resident Grey Wagtail, キサキレイ was there as well.


It was all a bit confusing sometimes. I hope I got this right.

Wagtails: Citrine Wagtail, キガシラセキレイ; Eastern Yellow Wagtail, ツメナガセキレイ; Western Yellow Wagtail, マミジロツメナガセキレイ

 The wagtails were well represented. The 3 of them hung out together in THE fields together, but only one came to the river for a sip

 I'd like to see an adult bird again one day
Back to the restaurant



Then there was the Eastern Yellow Wagtail, ツメナガセキレイ



Bigger than the others, bright yellow, it was hard to miss.





Western Yellow Wagtail, マミジロツメナガセキレイ







Sometimes the 3 of them were seen together, but I could not capture it. Below the Western and the Citrine



Just for the record, resident bird Grey Wagtail, キセキレイ
