Forsärla - Motacilla cinerea - Grey Wagtail
NF Photo 130415 Boda Kvarn
I´ve been trying for a long time to see this wagtail up close but failed. Now I finally got them. I was alone at the location so I could go for it as I wanted and succeeded. Took me more then an hour to get them used to me. No other people disturbed the event. I hope they will stay and nest here. People say there was a couple nesting a few years ago. So, I keep my fingers crossed. But I have to be alert. According to wiki the incubation period is about two weeks with chicks fledging within a fortnight. Less then 4 weeks till chicks are flying.
