Hi, sorry nobody has replied...I am no expert but given the time of year and location I am very much inclined to say its a Grey Wagtail.

You can read lots more about the yellow wagtail in the link below and why the chances of your bird sighting is very much in favour of a Grey Wagtail rather than a Yellow ;-)

Hey, i think it is definitely a Grey wagtail
Because as i remember i read an article over it.
Its characteristics are -The Grey Wagtail is more colourful than its name suggests, with slate grey upper parts and distinctive lemon yellow under-tail. Its tail is noticeably longer than those of Pied and Yellow Wagtails.

Perhaps you read/copied from the link below Mach Brown on the RSPB website about Grey wagtails... ;-)
