Bergeronnette des ruisseaux ( Motacilla cinerea )

            Avec sa démarche sautillante, son corps mince et sa queue extraordinaire, la bergeronnette des ruisseaux est l'un des oiseaux les plus élégants et les plus beaux. Elle a le dessus gris acier et le dessous jaune brillant, surtout pendant la période de reproduction. Au printemps le mâle a la gorge noire et le pourtour des yeux rayé de blanc. La femelle a une gorge pâle. En hiver, la bergeronnette perd presque complètement les tons jaunes de son plumage à l'exception du croupion. Elle reste néanmoins plus gracieuse que la bergeronnette grise, notamment à cause de sa longue queue. Peut facilement être confondue au printemps et en été avec sa proche cousine, la bergeronnette printanière, qui a le dessus vert olive, une tête et un dessous jaune et une queue plus courte.
******************************************************
With its bouncy gait, slender body and extraordinary tail, the Brook Wagtail is one of the most elegant and beautiful birds. It has a steel gray upper and shiny yellow underside, especially during the breeding season. In the spring the male has black throat and the edge of the eyes striped with white. The female has a pale throat. In winter, the wagtail almost completely loses the yellow tones of its plumage except for the rump. She is still more graceful than the gray wagtail, especially because of its long tail. Can easily be confused in spring and summer with its close cousin, the wagtail spring, which has the olive green top, a yellow head and bottom and a shorter tail.
