Latin name: Motacilla alba
Size: Approximately 18cm long with a wingspan of around 30cm.
Distribution: Found throughout the UK, except in winter when it is absent
from parts of northern Scotland.
Months seen: All year round.
Habitat: Grassland, farmland, parks and gardens.
Food: Insects.
Special features: Sometimes called the 'white wagtail'. The name really
says it all. It's a small bird with black plumage on its back, shoulders and
bib, and white cheeks, forehead and underparts. The tail hardly ever stops
wagging up and down.
