Yellow Fellow

We paid a visit to the Lees Haugh on the north bank of the River Tweed immediately upriver from Coldstream in search of Yellow Wagtails. These beautiful birds regularly choose to nest here in a large field of Oil-seed rape bordering the river. Locating a little yellow bird flying across the day-glow brilliance of the rape in full flower is quite challenging to say the least! Altogether we saw five birds including a brightly coloured male.
