WILDLIFE – PIED WAGTAIL
The Pied Wagtail, known for its frantic tail-wagging and black-and-white plumage, is a common sight in car parks and city centers. While most are year-round residents in the UK, some migrate to the Mediterranean and Africa during winter. Adult males defend territories, while young and female wagtails forage in groups during winter. They primarily feed on insects and sometimes forage in urban areas. Breeding from April to June, they raise up to three broods and are adaptable in nesting locations. Unfortunately, their numbers have declined, possibly due to issues with waterways and invertebrate availability. Despite this, they are currently listed as of little concern.
