Pied Wagtails and flies

Marazion beach is covered in flies and the wagtails love them. They don't even chase them...just wait for one to pass and jump at it.

    Great first image, done really well to freeze the Wagtail at the critical moment.

    Thanks for the comments. Don't read too much into it though...it's all luck I reckon.

    The first shot is a cracker, and is got to be skill.

    First shot is a cracker - reminds me of Paul Robinson in the Blackburn goal as he skillfully plucks the ball out of the air.....
