This is the four species of wagtails  I have seen in Sweden. The last one was a rare one and the only time I have seen it. Ever! 

The White wagtail is always here. First to come in spring and the last to leave. 

 The Yellow wagtail is here only in spring migration. Stops for a week or so, then head up north somewhere. This time it was only two birds, not sore if it is a pair or two males.

 In most of Europe it is the White Wagtail (Motacilla alba) that is most common. But this is in Scotland, GB, so this bird is the sub-species Pied Wagtail (M. a. yarrellii)
