48 THE BIRDS OF THE LUCKNOW CIVIL DIVISION. 
I have had opportunities of observing it, I have seldom found 
more than one or two together, and have never seen it associa- 
ting in flocks like other Wagtails. When flushed it usually flies 
but a short distance along the river—always, I think, over the 
water, and on alighting on the beach is often rudely assailed 
by one of its own species, each evidently considering a certain 
range his own particular beat. 
591.—Motacilla personata, Gould. Native name— 
Dhobin.* 
The Black-faced Wagtail is common during the cold weather, 
making its appearance early in Septemberand remaining to about 
the end of April. It may be found almost anywhere, viz., in 
ploughed fields, grassy plains, gardens, topes, and about rivers 
and jhils, usually running briskly about after insects. 
591 dis.—Motacilla dukhunensis, Sykes. 
The remarks about the last species apply equally to this, 
the Indian White-faced Wagtail, which is everywhere as 
common, frequenting the same localities. 
592.—Calobates melanope, Pall. 
I cannot say that I have ever observed the Grey and Yellow 
Wagtail, though it surely must occur during the cold weather. 
It is mentioned in Captain Irby’s paper as “ common,” and its 
occurrence can scarcely be doubted, thozgh I should not think it 
could be at all abundant, or I could hardly have overlooked it. 
593 bis——Budytes melanocephalus, Licht. Native 
name— Pilkya. 
The Black-cap Field Wagtail is common during the cold 
weather, coming in early and remaining late. After a good 
shower they may be seen in great numbers on usar plains ; 
are common in rice and well-irrigated corn-fields, and in the 
neighbourhood of jhils and rivers. They sometimes perch 
on trees. 
594.—Budytes calcaratus, Hodgs. 
The Black-backed Yellow-headed Wagtail is not quite so 
common as the last species, but is fairly abundant in marshes, 
inundated fields and damp tracts in the vicinity of jhils and 
rivers. It is only a cold weather visitor. 
596.—Anthus maculatus, Hodgs. 
The Indian Tree-Pipit is common during the cold weather, 
appearing about the end of September and departing about the
