'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.

Grovebury Quarry
A few migrants included Common Sandpiper, a pair of Little Ringed Plover, two Yellow Wagtail and a female White Wagtail. A sizeable Sand Martin colony is taking shape in this working sand pit. Lesser Whitethroat and Blackcap sang from the thickets.

Local Patch - 11/04/09
A dank drizzley grey day when cameras should be left at home !
New in today:
On the scrape, the first Yellow Wagtail this year fed and bathed, and the first Water Rail for some weeks skittered around the margins. Hirundine numbers were well in to double figures.
Such were the poor light levels that these shots were taken (hand-held) at ISO 800, and 1/200 and 1/100 sec. shutter speed respectively
