Yellow Wagtail
The dominant plant is Crassula helmsii - an introduced species which is decimating some of our muddy wetland shorelines in the UK .Intro's just don't work in my opinion !

Very good detail, I think the choice to stop down to f/11 was a good one to keep the foreground foliage in focus. Nice work.

I've always been fond of the wagtails and wished they strayed to this part of the world more often. I like the composition here. DOF is nice for the subject and setting.

Lovely work John, everything works very well in this comp.
Techs look excellent, I especially like head-turn & view of the backside here.
