Citrine Wagtail - Motacilla citreola

            I was lucky enough to be on the beach when this was found on the beach at Norwick on Tuesday though it was only a fleeting glimpse and distant photos and its actual ID was a matter of large debate. On Thursday however I managed some closer photos early in the morning but then later I tracked it down again and was even closer. There has been some debate about the actual ID of this bird but it seems that the opinion is of a Citrine Wagtail
