Yellow Wagtails in Egypt...

The short grass areas on the edges of the fields on Crocodile Island were full of Yellow Wagtails of various types. The commonest subspecies by far was  M. f. bema, but there were some exceptions...

Black-headed Yellow Wagtail, M. f. feldegg. Only a few of these striking birds...

Sykes' Yellow Wagtail, M. f. beema. The key feature separating this from M. f. flava is the white subocular stripe.

This appears to be a hybrid beema x feldegg, or possibly flava x feldegg, previously known as M. f. superciliaris.

Only a small number of what appear to be the endemic Egyptian Yellow Wagtail, M. f. pygmaea.

Plenty of Red-throated Pipits in amongst the wagtails...
