Me and my shadow (Motacilla alba yarrellii)

Taken looking down from my third storey flat. This Pied Wagtail appeared just after our rubbish bins had been emptied, and was trotting about looking for any morsels that might have been dropped on the roadway.

Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well.
