The last week of August seems to be the best chance of seeing Yellow Wagtails.
These are not to be confused with the Grey Wagtail with their black or grey bibs. These are much more delicate and not so 'in your face' as the Greys can be.
This year the 24th was a star turn, with 55 of the little jewels feeding amongst my cattle at West Harnham. Moving the cattle to the adjacent patch of grass I could then count the wagtails as they flew across to feed amonst the cattle.
The next day they had moved on - though I'm sure more will appear over the next week or so
