Just been watching 2 Pied Wagtails on the lawn. We tend to see one perhaps a couple of times a year. Let's hope this is a pair and they'll nest somewhere near . :nod:

Just failed to photograph the first Long Tailed Tit on the new feeder ! Why can't they wait for me to get the camera :photo:
Later on, there was a family of 5 in the hedge nearby, but they kept clear of the feeder.
Early days! I'll have them yet :D .
