Birds Willy Wagtail baled

[Ralph]

We had a family outing and while things were getting set up I as you do with a camera went for a walk.
I walked for a while to see this Willy Wagtail sitting on the bale of hay with a moth as a soon to be eaten meal.

I though, give it a go, and do a tight crop and I feel as if it worked out well

These are a small bird that has the cheek to land by cats and tease them to try to get them.
I have never seen a cat even get close to getting one of them.
