March typically heralds the beginning of spring migration in Britain. It's a month when most birders excitedly await their first sighting of a Northern Wheatear hopping across a grassy field, or a Sand Martin zipping freely above a waterbody. We sit through the cold and grey winter months knowing that these spirit-lifters will eventually return and render patient March birding – and indeed the winter slog – worthwhile. There is, however, a migrant that often reaches our shores a little before the much-vaunted wheatears and hirundines: the humble, but subtly gorgeous, White Wagtail. 
As a subspecies, White Wagtail tends to get slightly neglected and forgotten amid the jolly jamboree of spring arrivals. But an encounter with one of these suave-looking members of the Motacillidae family is always of note, enough to raise a smile and well worth appreciating in full. Indeed, White Wagtail may well be the first 'true' spring migrant you clap your eyes on each year and for that reason alone they are worthy of celebration.
