Pied Wagtail and an Eagle

After photographing the crows in my previous post, I came upon this little Pied Wagtail perched nearby in the dim blue light of dusk:

If you're wondering what it's standing upon, it's this sculpture of an eagle (or osprey), photographed at sunrise way back in 2005:

I went for a walk down to the beach this afternoon at high tide in search of wader photos. No real luck there, but I did stumble upon this approachable Pied Wagtail posing on the pebbles in some late sunshine:

A common-enough bird, but I've not really managed any decent shots before, so quite pleased to get these.
