8) WHITE WAGTAIL:

This photograph of White Wagtail was taken with Fuji HS 10 Camera by me few years ago at Vadhvana Wetlands near Dabhoi in Gujarat.

According to Wikipedia, the white wagtail (Motacilla alba) is a small passerine bird in the wagtail family (Motacillidae).This species breeds in much of Europe and Asia and parts of north Africa. It is resident in the mildest parts of its range but otherwise migrates to Africa.

The white wagtail is an insectivorous bird of open country, often near habitation and water. It prefers bare areas for feeding, where it can see and pursue its prey. In urban areas, it has adapted to foraging on paved areas such as car parks. It nests in crevices in stone walls and similar natural and man-made structures.
