Birds of Lake Nakuru National Park
Yellow Wagtail

Early morning game drives always pay off. With trained eyes, you can see a lot of birds singing that will vanish later on during the day. I was driving, alone, on the Western shore of lake Nakuru, when I spotted this yellow wagtail. I managed to stop the car very close and the bird was completely unconcerned. I used a wide aperture to get a narrow depth of field and took the shot.

Nikon D700, Sigma 150-500mm OS at 450mm, F6.3, 1/2500s, ISO 6400, handheld.
