Wagtail nesting

I'd largely forgotten I'd taken this photo, which was back in August 2008

What you have here is a Wagtail which had made its nest in the back of a canal lockgate.
It was complete chance I knew it was there at all and complete luck I had a camera at hand to try and get a photo.

... and it was a mix of both that the photo I took actually looked decent. I only took the one, partly because there wasn't the time, nor did I want to harass the bird for several photos.

And before you ask, I was on a boat at the time. I wasn't standing in the canal.
