		Skylarks appeared to be the dominant species, with four White/Pied Wagtails, three Serins, one Grey Wagtail, one Goldfinch and one Meadow Pipit also noted.
		These birds were apparently displaced on their southward migration by a large high pressure system to the NW of Spain, producing east winds across west Iberia.

		Unlike its pied wagtail cousins, which have adapted so well to car parks and roost communally at this time of year, the grey wagtail is usually a bird of mountain streams.
		All the time the wagtail lives up to its name with a constant, neurotic bobbing of its long tail feathers and back end, a pent-up dynamo of a bird.

	BTO - The British Trust for Ornithology: Grey Wagtail
		Grey Wagtail populations are densest in northern and western Britain, where the CBC and WBS do not provide representative coverage, but the WBS will cover the species' habitat very well.
		The trends shown by both surveys are very similar to those for Pied Wagtail, notably featuring a rapid decline through the 1970s, but subsequently remaining stable.
		Grey Wagtail breeding performance has improved markedly over time, suggesting that it cannot be the demographic rate responsible for the decline or for holding the population constant subsequently.
