Blue-headed/Syke's Wagtail, Beds 7th May 2001

Warren Villas NR, near Sandy, Bedfordshire.

"Because of several features on this bird - very pale blue/grey head, pale/white cheek and pale yellow to white chin and moustachial stripe - is it possibly a beema? Post your thoughts here. The images were taken with my Sony PC3 camcorder through my Leica APO scope and 20-60x eyepiece. Mag was at about 500 times, thus the poor quality. The bird was over 100 meters away on a sandbank."
