@beginbirding: The Yellow Wagtail has declined by over 70% in the UK since the 1970s, largely due to changes in farming practices and the loss of wet meadows and damp grassland across the countryside. They have a fascinating habit of following large animals like cattle and horses, picking off the insects disturbed by their hooves. A behaviour that makes freshly grazed fields and livestock pasture some of the best places to look. Learn their call and you’ll start seeing the more than you’d expect. Have you seen a Yellow Wagtail this summer? Let me know below 👇 #naturetok #Outdoors #birdwatching #wildlife #birdtok
