Opened the front door just now and startled a bird on the lawn
opposite.

Flew AWAY from me and I could only see its back. Blackbird size, dark
wings, but a very vivid yellow back.

Looked in the bird book and the nearest I could see was the Golden
Oriole but reading its habit I don't see how it could be.

South East Coast Isle of Wight

Any suggestions?

Grey Wagtail?

Thanks Chris, I think that's the one. Will have to look out for it again.
I wasn't ready for anything there, I was on my way down the drive to fetch
the Wheelie Bin back ;-)
