Love wagtails :)
I think their behaviour's changed relatively recently (10 years or so). They used to be quite a rare sight in cities, I remember noticing them when we got back into a building site that had been closed for best part of a year, they liked the quiet and the standing water, but they were shy. Then soon after I noticed them getting bolder at work, coming near if you were sitting outside. Now they're like bloody starlings (I love starlings too). Pied that is. Grey are still shy and I've never seen a yellow one in London.

Probably the worst pictures ever to grace this thread, but every bird here is a pied wagtail - I found this huge flock of them yesterday evening, roosting on these trees in the middle of the Eden shopping centre in High Wycombe. It was an impressive sight - apparently it is common behaviour for this species to roost together in warmer town centres, but I had never seen anything like it.
