Description: Its mass is merely 20-23 gr. Being a deft runner, the bird trembles its tail incessantly (as indeed do all wagtails, hence the name). The plumage of the white wagtail is white, mainly of white and grey tones; there is a big black spot in their throat and breast, and a black cap contrasting with the white forehead and cheeks; the belly is greyish white. The tail is black, but the outer rudders are white. The wings are red-brown grey with alternating lateral broad black red-brown and narrow white bars.
Habitat: It builds nests in indents, for instance, cracks in walls, tree hollows, under roofing, in logging warehouses.
