Thanks,Jackaroo

Yellow Wagtails aren't grey above as in Grey Wagtails, they also have a notably shorter tail (Grey has the longest tail of our 3 species), different calls + are less associated with water, though especially on migration (Yellow Wagtails are summer visitors to UK) they may be seen here, but generally prefer pastures +wet grassland, etc.
