Motacilla alba

303_1052 [Motacilla alba]

 
A common European bird that emigrates to southern, warmer, areas in Winter.
 
It is often seen feeding in and around towns
where it nests in recesses, hollows, cracks in walls or in damaged roof bricks.
 
It feeds on insects that it catches on the ground or on roofs
and likes to be near lakes, rivers, reservoirs and canals.
 
When it runs or stands, it constantly moves its tail.
 
It is about 18 cm long and lives up to 5 years.
 
And between you and me … it is one of my favorite birds!!!
