Ours have now left the nest.
But amazingly, 1 of the parents was 6ft away from us on Sunday, chirping quite loudly then looking down at the floor then us. This went on for a while, I threw it some food thinking that's what it wanted.
It ignored the food, but carried on the show.
I then noticed some tail feathers sticking out of the pool skimmer flap, a fledgling had ended up in there!
I rescued it and placed it back in the nest.

Greetings from Los Collados, We too have Wagtails they have a nest under our solar panels and they have raised two broods so far this year.

5 days on, I've left the nest alone but been watching the comings and goings through bino's.
But I just had a rescue a fletchling from the pool skimmer and pop it back in the nest.
Only 3 left.😬

I should've probably put this here rather than photography section.

I've been watching this nest of Wagtails all day, just now, a Red Kite got pretty close but one of the wagtails chased it off.
