My friendly Pied Wagtail

  • This is the 3rd winter this Wagtail has returned to our garden. As you can see he is quite happy to feed from my hand. I just hope it avoids the local terror that is the Sparrow Hawk. The longest recorded lifespan for a Pied Wagtail that I have been advised of is just over 11 years which is well over the average 3 - 5 years.

    He's really trusting and friendly most birds I feed in my garden always flying away the moment they see a human.

    I keep trying not move so as not to scare the little bird, then I remember I'm watching it on a screen.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🐦🐦🐦

    Sadly my little friend hasn't returned this winter, so I guess it's departed this world. Doubt I'll meet another as bold.

      Colin Brett i gone to versailles a week ago. there i met the boldest sparrows... one stole me a huge bread crumb i was holding between my fingers while airborne. sparrows in portugal are cowards. :( and i like the little critters a lot and my girlfriebd handfed a carrion crow too.

      Colin Brett I have fed individuals and also a rare large flock in Glasgow, am sure that your little friend found a mate and went with them.
      There are several hundred pairs on one hillside alone near me, in the coldest winters they sometimes head for cities and towns to get a warm place to roost

      Wagtails are known all across Eurasia, but they are an unrelated species to the Aussie ones. 😁

    Nice to see.I live next to the coast in County Cork Ireland.I have a family of Wagtails that come into my flat to get their snacks every day.I give them little pieces of cheese and tiny bits of bread.They prefer the cheese i have to say.Also feed Rooks and 3 of them are very tame.The one i have named Paul and he gently takes food from my fingers.

      +glen smith Hi Glen, good to hear you have the magic touch with not just wagtails. The rooks and crows around here are far too timid.

    This has happened to me too! But with a Willie Wagtail. Not a pied Wagtail. It also hadn’t returned this winter... I think they flew away to a warmer place so I think the Wagtails will come back when it’s spring/warmer 👍

    Wow! That’s so cute! We have two little wagtails (one male and or female) that keep popping into our garden, they’re quite shy and skittish though. If I’m not already outside when they come in I can’t go out or they’ll scraper. I’m hoping they’ll move into our bird house and start a nest there though

    Reminds me of the magpie larks we get here in Australia. They're very friendly and always curious. A family of magpie larks at my office grew so accustomed to me and my friends feeding them over the years that the daughter started landing on my friend's arm :)
    Sadly I've changed offices since then but am always on the lookout for a new family of magpie larks to befriend.

    Gorgeous.
    Feeding so many birds I suppose in this weather he was tempted, bless him.
    Thank you for your video.

    your usually guaranteed to see these birds hanging around shopping center malls, i think maybe they're either looking for food off people or trying to come in for some heat.

    • @grantrennie
      @grantrennie 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jay Gordon its for the heat although they will eat different things.
      There are some places where males will claim a small patch as their little territory and go back there every year

    Nice shot
    I've been looking for the name of this bird as I've spotted one landing on our terrace this winter in East Sussex. Its a beautiful looking bird.
    The little creature appears to get closer to my window with every visit , with the amount of herring gulls here I would be too afraid to encourage it to stop for too long as I've seen pictures of gulls eating other birds.

    Nice video, I have never seen a Wag stay still for so long...... Our Wags only breed for 2 years then leave forever. Not dead, but never return from migrate... This has happened for four generations of ours. Normally Wags can outfly a Hawk and only get caught when old or babies. Looks like you have a male bird there without a mate.. Finally, if another Wag turns up, it may be the same one but with new feathers...
