The Yellow Wagtail is a summer visitor to the UK, breeding primarily in southern and eastern Britain.

This is a strongly migratory species, wintering in trans-Saharan Africa and returning from early April to breed in grassy habitats, particularly in proximity to cattle. There has been a major decline in numbers since the 1970’s, albeit with more stability over the last decade. The decline appears strongly linked to agricultural intensification.
