I have been asked a few times whether I am working in a forest. The sole reason, I think, must be because of Cerok Tokun. If the authority is willing, I shall say, I may opt to the offer. Somehow I am not, currently. Same as the Wagtail, I come to Cerok Tokun as when I want, and leave after I am done.
And it happened that we met again at the same place that we first saw each other a few months back. Both of us enjoy this place very much. I come for the unexpected surprises; it is fond of frequenting flooded meadows and the wet wall.
We were closer to each other this time, and I was able to observe its tail wagging clearly. You see, it is such a delight to have waited for a long time but managed still to clear my doubt.
Checking through its list of food: beetles- yes, flies- yes, moths- yes, millipedes- yes, and slugs- yes. It never mentioned, but then Cerok Tokun must be a heaven.
Will this Wagtail go home when Spring returns? I would like to check it out when the time is right.If it will, do you like to have a New Year gift from me? As I do not know where it will land finally, you have to try your luck by then.
(By the way, we are going to celebrate Chinese New Year this coming Sunday).

How wonderful that you saw the yellow wagtail again. With so many good bugs available, maybe you will see it in the spring too. Happy Chinese New Year!
I've missed your wonderful nature posts! Hoping to have more time for catching up this next week.
Who knows. you may see him again!Wish you a wonderful new year!
Glad your friend was there to greet you. I wish you a wonderful CNY - Gong Xi Fa Cai. Celebrate with family and friends and enjoy yourself to the fullest.
Happy New Year to you and your family! May all your wishes come true.
Beautiful little yellow wagtail bird!
Hahah...one of the persons who asked you that question was me. hahaha..hello little birdy...
The Yellow Wagtail is beautiful, it is wonderful to see him again. Have a very happy Chinese New Year.
Happy Chinese New Year to you! Are you celebrating because everyone in your area does? Or is it because you yourself like to celebrate it. My son lives in China, and he's going with a friend to Shanghai to celebrate the New Year!
The birdie looks so small!
These are great pictures of the yellow wagtail. It's really a great looking bird. I like the yellow birds. It looks similar to the goldfinches I like to watch.

Why I celebrate Chinese New Year?
I celebrate Chinese New Year just like you celebrating Christmas. No matter where I go or stay, L shall still celebrate this greatest day of the Lunar Year, because I am a Chinese.
