 Submission No:323
On the second occasion (7 November 2000) a single observer saw a similar wagtail near to but not at the original site; a field description and sketches were made on the basis of brief flight views and sightings of the bird on the ground when it was partially obscured by short grass.
On first glance, the descriptions of a grey and white wagtail with prominent wingbars seems consistent with the first basic plumage of Citrine Wagtail (not with the juvenile plumage, contra the interpretation of the observers).
To date there are two records of Citrine Wagtail accepted by BARC one from Botany Bay, NSW 01st July 1962 (Case 22) and one from Goolwa, SA 29th May 1987 (Case 186).

 Pipits and wagtails
The remaining wagtail is Forest Wagtail Dendronanthus indicus of the eastern Palearctic.
Mountain Wagtail, and a fair number of other wagtails, are long-tailed motacilids adapted for feeding along rushing streams, surging rivers, or other wetlands, rather than the open grasslands used by many pipits.
Pipits and wagtails often have a habit of flying off or bob-tailing their direction away from the observer, leaving one puzzled.

These field-marks are often associated with the subspecies beema, but the Citrine Wagtail call is not typical of this form.

 BirdForum - Caught out at Graffham Water
At first I thought Citrine (which would be nice as I have never seen one) but after a closer look it was obvious that it wasn't one.
The only wagtail I could put to it was the lutea ssp but they don't come here.
I have never seen a Citrine Wagtail but the literature I have read on them doesn't fit the bird I saw at Graffham.

There are two races of this species in Europe, since the wagtails in Britain and Ireland have darker backs and are known as Pied Wagtails.
In the White Wagtails of mainland Europe, the back is storm-cloud grey and the fl nape and fl bib which border the white face don't meet at the side of the neck.
White Wagtails (the nominate race M.a.alba) are regular on passage, both on the east and west coast.

 Motacilla citreola
Adult male Citrine Wagtails are quite gorgeous birds with dazzling yellow heads bordered by a neat fl scarf.
The yellow extends down the rest of the underparts, the upperparts are basically grey with white wing bars.
To confirm that your bird isn't a Yellow Wagtail, look at how there is a complete pale border around the ear coverts.

 Birding Sites in Israel: Kfar Ruppin
The cultivated land, fish-ponds and reservoirs around Kfar Ruppin kibbutz attract an outstanding range of birds including waterfowl, waders, herons and storks, gulls and terns as well as many passerine species.
Intensive watching has shown this to be an excellent site for rarities and species such as Pygmy Cormorant, Great Black-headed Gull, Little Bustard and Citrine Wagtail appear to be regular in winter.
The fields, mainly to the north and west of the kibbutz, hold regular wintering Little Bustard, passage pratincoles, Stone Curlew Spur-winged and possibly Sociable Plover.
