The white wagtail is my harbinger of spring. I’ve been hearing and watching it for a few weeks now, and today I spotted it on the roof. In German it’s called a ‘Bachstelze’, which is why I often refer to it here as a ‘Dachstelze’, as it frequently runs and bobs along the ridges of roofs.

I had to edit the photo a bit because it was taken against the morning sun behind the high fog.

Schulterblick. So wichtig.

Beide Bachstelzen sind schon da und haben die Brutgelegenheit von letztem Jahr wieder belegt - und ich die Kameralinse zwischendurch nicht geputzt.
