Not sure what bird this is, any experts out there ? Found out from someone it's a young Pied Wagtail
Looking for its mum, I saw this bird sat on a wall, whilst in my car, so naturally I had to stop and take shot or two.

Yellow hammer, heavily cropped unfortunately.

Herring gull, not one of my favourite birds. This was shot last month in Boscastle, Cornwall.

Oh beautiful shots.
I am guessing that the first baby shots are a great tit (I could be wrong tho :) )
Yellow hammer shot is great even if it is heavily cropped, nice birds.

The first three are some sort of baby from the thrush family. I'm not sure of the thrushes in your area, but it could be a Robin or maybe a wheatear.

Cheers Kev appreciated you looking.
Thanks alot Brandon, I was guessing at a pied wagtail, but what do I know.
Thanks Linda, for taking the time to look and commenting.
Cheers for looking Ephily, don't think it's a thrush of any kind.

Beautiful series Adi. Can't help with the ID, but I hope he's being taken care of. the wing feathers looks sparrowish, but the beak looks like a thrush of some kind. And the gull looks hungry.

Thans very much howzit' that's very high praise, not sure I agree, but thanks anyway.
The gull wasn't my favourite, but there wasn't a great deal around at the time and the background looked nice and clean, which makes a change, so it would have been a shame not to have taken the opportunity.
Very very nice especially the first one. :smile:
Cheers Scoob appreciate the comments.

Thanks for looking wlaramie and the positive comments.

Thanks Jim, I don't usually get nice uncluttered backgrounds.

Thanks Mitch, yeah I wanted to hang around, to make sure it was ok, but I would've looked a bit suspicious, as it was someone's garden wall.
The Gull probably was hungry, as you're not supposed to feed them anymore.
I expect they're missing "fish 'n' chips".;)

Your identifications are correct including the first as a very immature Pied Wagtail.

Thanks Jason, you're right about about the Pied, tha's the first young one I've ever seen, hence not knowing what it was. Appreciate you taking the time to look.
