The Pied Wagtail is a small, black-and-white bird that thrives in urban areas, especially on flat surfaces like car parks, rooftops, and farmyards.

With a characteristic bobbing head and a tail that wags incessantly, they are easy to spot. Their loud “schizzick” call is often heard in flight.

Males are mostly black with some white, while females have uneven grey backs. They build nests in various locations, including walls and machinery.
