Ok , what would be the general consensus be regard to the white in it wings. A nutritional disorder or pied ?
2 years ago I got a pic on my phone camera which turned out crappy of another bird in the general area of this one, its wings were cinammon and its back was a washed out black to grey almost. It seems to be only one bird in about 50 we have on the golf course that has these white markings.... pete]

My guess would be that if it was nutritional there would be more affected and that section of the river certainly supports a large population of willy wagtails. I counted about 20 in one small area while waiting for traffic light at the corner of Canning and Causeway just the other day.

You didn't happen to get a photo which showed its toenails did you?
I was just wondering if any were white or any pink on the feet which might support it being a pied?
