RE: Do you know what bird this is staring at me through my window?
This is a Cape Wag Tail from South Africa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_wagtail . Wow even birds are leaving the country in search of a better life.
Cape wagtail
The Cape wagtail, also known as Wells's wagtail, (Motacilla capensis) is a small African passerine bird in the family Motacillidae, which includes the wagtails, pipits and longclaws.
Im near a little town called Wells
Pretty weird. Maybe they migrate. We have lots of them over in South Africa where I am.
This was a young one I think
I thought it might be a grey wagtail but they are yellow that makes sense doesnt it

It most resembles the cape wagtail as you said
Hmm wonder whats it doing here? And what the wells's in its other name refers to gonna have to do some more research
Weird. This might a good questiom for askreddit.
Never tried that might give it a go.
Spoke with a local birdwatcher today all he could confirm was that it is a wagtail but he wasnt sure which one.
All this bullshit spam around is really annoying
All the best
