The Pied Wagtail is often spied flicking its long tail and chirping out a distinctive ‘tchissick’ call. When feeding, the birds spring like traps, scribing and carving the air in pursuit of insects.
The nesting sites are varied – holes in a bank or wall, crevices and hollows among rocks, the folds and gnarled fingers of tree roots or in this case, a ledge tucked away in a barn.
Leaves, grasses, fine roots and twigs are matted and felted together and then the cup is finely lined with hair and wool. Four to six eggs are laid, usually in April. Colours vary, but generally they are a dirty white, liberally sprinkled with flecks of grey-brown.
This is a Giclée reproduction, printed on archival grade, professional Hahnemule Photorag 300gsm paper. It is supplied without mount or frame. Framed prints can be arranged at extra cost, please contact the studio to discuss any requirements.
