A motley fellow (Callum Brae)

[Denis Wilson <>]

I would have thought the dark one (on the right) was one of the chicks.
Check the brown tinges on wing feathers.
That still does not explain the dark abdomen, though. 
But it does explain why it was not feeding the others.

Hard to say - I wasn't there, so don't know if it flew in, as if to deliver food.

Cheers
Denis

There must be something in the water at Callum Brae, for I have never seen a willie wagtail like this motley fellow before.  The plump little fellow in the middle was the only one begging for food.  Motley did not feed the chick while I was watching, but the chick behaved as though it expected Motley to do so.  Do WWTs normally look like this?
