Hi just thought I would share our delight at spotting our first Yellow Wagtail in our farmland enclosed garden, in the Scottish Borders. My basic research suggests such birds are few and far between and also an unlikely visitor this time of year,

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Male Grey wagtails have much more yellow on the upper parts of their breasts as in this photo,

You mentioned you were in Southern Scotland so maybe look on the S.O.C. webpages or a local club if you have one
EDIT if you are in the Borders the email address for the local recorder is. bordersrecorder@gmail.com
Hi- here's a male Yellow Wag in the field next to my garden in May - but they never come in like the Greys :)

For advice about Birding, Identification,field guides, binoculars, scopes, tripods, etc - put 'Birding Tips' into the search box
Hi. I just thought I would share with everyone that I have spotted my first ever yellow wagtail in my garden in the Rhondda, south Wales.
Did you get a photo. It would be nice to see it.
