Yellow Wagtail
Many of the Penang birders were at Chuping on
that day. The target was the vagrant Citrine Wagtail. Nelson was one of them
and Choy Mun group. I was late reaching the place that Thursday cos following
the GPS coordinates given by David I was routed to a Felda village!
Everyone was hopeful but nobody have an idea where to look. I wandered off along the power line route whilst the others stayed safe near the road. For me I was happy to get the Yellow Wagtail which is hard to find in Klang Valley.
Yellow Wagtails winter in South East Asia and many warmer continents. It is a slender 15–16 cm long bird, with the characteristic long, constantly wagging tail of its genus. It is the shortest tailed of the wagtails. The breeding adult male is basically olive back above and yellow below. In other plumages, the yellow may be diluted by white. The heads of breeding males come in a variety of colours and patterns depending on subspecies some black, grey and yellow to olive green tones. The call is a characteristic high-pitched jeet.This insectivorous bird inhabits open country near water.
Could this be the Citrine Wagtail but the supercillium do not round back to its neck.....
