Pembrokeshire Avifauna committee in Grey Wagtail, Mathew, passerine, resident

Motacilla melanope

A common resident; equally abundant throughout the year. We agree with Mr. Dix in considering this beautiful species, " the Common Wagtail " of Pembrokeshire, breeding by every little stream. We have found the nest within a few feet of our hall door at Stone Hall.
