It landed quickly and walked too fast, the long tail is unmistakable. I do not know the type, but someone, b, opined that this might be a yellow wagtail. I cannot recall it has a yellow color, somewhat brownish. I hope to catch one of its type again. Now Filipino kids and their parents should be taught NEVER to use slingshots on living, flying things.

Unknown bird, most probably a wagtail, in upland Bgy Lantawan, Silay.

the bird is too far away to provide a 100% identification but the wing pattern and behavior is typical of a wagtail species;

Thank you again. The bird was walking too fast for the camera. I was impressed by its long tail. I cannot recall if it had a yellow underbody, it was mostly brown as in the photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I cannot recall it was yellow color, it was somewhat grayish and had a long tail. Maybe a gray wagtail.
ReplyDeleteyes doc it's probable... keep taking pictures, it's amazing a lot of people get exposed to nature and wildlife because of photography...
