Witte Kwikstaart / White Wagtail (Motacilla alba) #3

Witte Kwikstaart / White Wagtail (Motacilla alba) #3
This bird resides just north of Amsterdam in the country side, basically on the lands of a farmer. I hoped I would see it again this year and I did.

As I was waiting and looking, he landed right next to me on the post with a beak full of insects. After waiting a bit, he ate his breakfast.

I tried to come closer all the time, taking one step at the time. He didn't seem to care one bit. Just as I thought I had gone too far, he tucked in one leg and relaxed... after taking a few more shots I left, thanking him for posing for me.

Here he is just after his meal, relaxing and looking ever so friendly.

This is the third shot in a sequence. I have included the other two in a note.
