@birds.wildlife.nature: Clad in soft gray-yellow hues, it perches by riverbanks or on midstream rocks, its tail ceaselessly bobbing up and down. The Western Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava) is a vibrant, slender songbird found across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Known for its cheerful yellow plumage (in males) and constant tail-bobbing motion, it thrives in open habitats like wetlands, meadows, and farmlands. This migratory species winters in Africa and tropical Asia, forming large flocks. With over 10 subspecies displaying striking color variations, it’s a favorite among birdwatchers. Though currently Least Concern, habitat loss threatens some populations. #westernyellowwagtail #birds #DidYouKnow #wagtail
