The Grey Wagtail is found in western, central and southern Europe as well as most of Asia. It spread into north west Europe during the last century.

It is fonder of water than other wagtails and is often associated with fast running streams.

The voice is similar to the "chissik" of the White Wagtail M. alba but is higher in pitch and more metallic in tone.

There is more information available via Avibase and some more photos on my European page.
