Motacilla alba

White Wagtail - is a variation of the Pied Wagtail. There are subtle differences in the plumage and call. They show considerable variation in plumage across the world. Usually seen as singles, pairs, or small groups walking and running around, bobbing the long, white-sided tail up and down. I photographed this one at Vilamoura reedbeds in Portugal at a distance.
