Has Anyone Lost Their Wagtails?

By January 18, 2012 4 comments

Redgannet’s found a whole flock of White Wagtails outside of Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 and he is concerned that perhaps someone has misplaced their local birds.  If your local wagtails have turned up missing, please let him know.

  1. Nope, we still have them in bunches, but thanks for asking :-)

  2. The bird proofing method that Redgannet mentions can have adverse consequences. In Richmond, VA a few years ago, it was used on the Senate building while the legislature was in session. A large number of Cedar Waxwings became entrapped in the sticky goo; some died and some spent weeks with rehabbers until they grew new feathers. And it was a public relations disaster – taxpayer funds being spent on something that harms a beautiful and iconic species.

  3. Here, here!
    Me!!!
    I have lost mine!
    I still need White (and Pied for that matter, we Germans are ruthless Motacilla-splitters) for my year list!

    Puuuleeeeeaze!

  4. @Wendy: That is disturbing. Thanks for the info.

    @Jochen: You will never catch me, regardless of how many species you split from the wagtails.
