Western yellow wagtail on a rosehip bush

One of the most yeloow bird is the Western yellow wagtail, like the oriole most of its body is yellow and it is one of the more visible birds because of its missing camouflage colors. But still I have to admit that the Oriole is very difficult to spot even if you hear it, I often went crazy just hearing this bird and wondered how on earth it was possible that I didn't find it. The western yellow wagtail is easier to find when you hear it. Especially during spring when it is showing of its beaty and is in a mating mood. And I like it very much when bird are perching ons small branches or in the reed and it is easier to get a perfect picture of them.

The first picture in this series is maybe a candidate for another printed picture for my wall so I can exchange some of the ones that are at the moment hanging on my wall. But I have to look through all of my newer pictures and maybe choose another one. Since I only want to change some of the pictures and not all I have to make compromises. I hope the bird is not disappointed if I don't choose him, just kidding. When the day is not so sunny and cloudy and there is even a rainy mood in the sky the pictures get much better and there is much more color and contrast in the pictures than on sunny day. I was lucky that this day was one of these mentioned ones.
