Being a little fella at about 20 cm, it looked tiny on the rock in the stream, and it looked a little lost too. It had me worried for a while as I thought it was injured as it lingered on the rock, at that one spot, looking rather vulnerable.
And, a White-throated Kingfisher, slightly bigger at more than 10 cm the Wagtail's size, decided to play the local bully, shrieking and flying against the Wagtail, obviously trying to intimidate it. However, this foreign feathered visitor hardly flinched as the Kingfisher almost brushed against it, which seemed to reinforce my worry that it was hurt and immobilised.
However, when I raised my voice to point it out to another birder it suddenly took off, much to my surprise and thrill, indicating that it was well after all.
