Birds Meadow Pipit and White Wagtail in Leonardsberg (Sweden)

[krisljungberg]

Had a lovely day in Leonardsberg yesterday, a good bird location around my home town. 20-25 minutes with bicycle and you're there! So that's very nice. Lots of birds of course, but not everything pans out photo wise unfortunately. Some do though! Here's a when I laid down on the ground to see if the white wag tails would come a little bit closer. They did! And a cute little meadow pipit also sat nicely on the rock infront of me.

The 1st has got the look of the White-fronted Chat in Australia. But there is enough differences between the 2 that you would never mix them up.
And a nice and wonderfully clear shot of the Meadow Pipit (I think).
Really nice work on all these shots.

Thanks a lot man! It was a great day and the surroundings were perfect for a little low persepctive bird photography.

Wow, the White-fronted Chat really looks a lot like the White Wagtail. Never seen that bird! I don't think you can find it in Sweden, but we do have a name for it I see now.

Nice. We call that a Pied Wagtail here. Whites are infrequent visitors here and have fully white heads. I've yet to see one.
