Regarding the report of an Eastern Yellow Wagtail on Eremaea (Southern Queensland Birdline). Unfortunately, this report was not accompanied by any identification notes or photo. I have some rather poor record shots at http://www.pbase.com/sjmurray/recent_images Better ones may be forthcoming from someone else (I tried again this morning without luck). As an inexperienced Wagtail observer, I would have liked to know how other species were ruled out (e.g., juvenile Citrine, which is said to have double wing bars).

One response to “Wagtail at Buckleys Hole (Bribie Island, QLD)”
Hi Steve, The bird on your pictures looks like an Eastern Yellow Wagtail to me. Contra Citrine: I think the wingbars are too narrow and the supercilium doesn’t seems to ‘frame’ the face.
