> vented bird so all those with racing hearts can now let them subside as it 
> looks unlikely that there was a Citrine Wagtail in the group. I still feel 
> that I saw Grey Wagtail with an all grey back and wingbars in flight. I know

> around together.

> This conversation then throws doubt on my other sightings of Grey Wagtails as 
> they were also not in the right habitat. Does anyone have definite sightings

> A number of photographers are headed that way now so we may have some better 
> shots later.
