Do you know was it a Grey Wagtail or a Yellow Wagtail? The picture you are replying to is a Grey Wagtail (yellow with grey upper body and often found by water) and this is one I took yesterday which is my first Yellow Wagtail (unless Adroit or Colin come along and tell me otherwise), was one of four in a field next to a sewage work along with a lot of Pied Wagtails and my first White Wagtail, wagtails love sewage works if you are ever passing one

It was a grey - grey upper but a very luminous yellow bottom half, wether that was the sunlight and contrast with the mud or a mating season boost of colour I don't know. I think it was catching the first of the mayfly in swift darts out across the water then back to the flat to potter about.
Got all excited to say I saw my first ever Grey Wagtail today, though you have a far superior photo compared to my Monet-esque digital zoom attempt. Saw it flash under the bridge I was on and thought "Kingfisher? No, wait, that was yellow!?" Looked over the other side and it circled back to land on a mud flat on the bend of the river.
