Lesviot Yellow Wagtails

Yellow Wagtail, Lesvos, 25th April 2015 ( Copyright T D Wright )
The middle Saturday of my fortnight was the rainiest day. Therefore I decided to do some birding from the car and found that the inclement weather had brought about a marvellous fall of Yellow wags at Alikoudi pool. I had them all to myself and was overwhelmed by all the variety. I took lots of pix and here I hope I've identified them all correctly...

And while I'm at it, here's another feldegg from the Kalloni saltpans...

Nice little sequence, plus the combination of background colouration and the bird's yellow reflection make up for any imperfections as regards sharpness. It also shows wing and tail patterns which is nice. I also saw dombrowskii and Citrine Wagtail at the saltpans, but that's enough pics for one post!
