Snap, waggle and pop(pies)

It has obviously been a good year for poppies and seemingly a good year for Pied Wagtails with second broods well on the way in several known locations.

I haven't had too much chance to be creative in the use of these beautiful flowers an obliging young pied wagtail took up a preening post for half an hour and enabled me to snap a few shots, as it waggled its' tail, amidst the poppies!
