    This little chap has appeared around my pond this past few weeks
    I finally got a pic today, but I don't recognise what he is
    He behaves like a wagtail, but with less tail 'wagging'
    Can anybody confirm this new arrival to my garden?

    Yip ... I have decided the same
    I was confused because its behaviour seemed wagtailish to me
    Ah well ... we live and learn :)
