I never expected to see the wagtail in the middle of nowhere. In the desert! Where I live they are everywhere but we don´t have a desert. It was nice to see this one as it has winter plumage and we don´t see that in Sweden. That is the benefit of travelling.

This race of the White Wagtail difers in color pattern from the one we have in Sweden. In morocco there was also a wagtail with a black mask over the eyes. I saw it once but did not get a shot of it.
