'Channel' Wagtail

Whilst exploring an under-recorded area for butterflies near Eggington, I discovered a Blue-headed x Yellow Wagtail hybrid (flava x flavissima) or 'Channel' Wagtail. The bird was quite some distance in to a bean field, so the images have been enlarged for viewing.

In the same area, a pair of Yellow Wagtail were carrying food, and at least one fledged juvenile bird was seen.
