He is a Willy Wagtail. These incredibly agile little birds are a familiar site throughout much of Australia. I think they are wonderful creatures, they eat mosquitos and flies among other things. This one is showing his eyebrows which signals that he is not entirely happy that I am in his territory.

Good job with the focus on this little guy. I agree he looks unhappy, his tail feathers also make him look agitated!

Oh mercy. I love the bird but I can't believe the clarity in the wooden post it's sitting on. That is awesome. The birds feathers are super sharp as well. It must have sat there awhile for you to get that great focus. Is this ever a "keeper". I really didn't expect this from the title and am not sure how the title fits in unless you named the bird "Willy". By the way, it will be a big mistake for others viewing this not to download it to really appreciate it. Wonderful capture. I really mean that.

Thank you Christopher and Pat. I called him Willy because he is a Willy Wagtail… that is the kind of bird he is.

Robert - this is another superb image from you. The clarity is great and those soft breastfeathers and the texture of the post such a great contrast. Another for my favourites.

Isn't he cute? I have never seen one of those before. Funny name. You have captured him well perched on the log.

Now that's a name that's hard to forget! Like his ruffled little chest and that pale pink color. He does look ready to scold you. Hes pretty against that pale blue sky and that log is a perfect perch. Very clear image. High marks for you...

Wagtails have always been one of my favourite birds. They think they are so fierce! And I guess they must be, since I have seen them chase away much larger birds.

Hi Robert this is one stunning capure. All it lacks is a bit more saturation. Well done.

Great capture! (what's new?) I love how you centered the bird and pushed the log off to the left rather than putting them both in the center. As for the detail and clarity... nothing short of amazing. Once again, great capture. 10/10 from me.

That is great! I have never seen a bird that could "show it's eyebrows". It's very cute, it has alot of character to it. And it's a good photograph.

Would you mind if I use this pic in a missions presentation for missions class at the Bible Institute I'm at? We're doing a presentation about Australia this coming week.

P.S. I just put up two new pictures, and one more is on the way. Let me know what you think, if you have the time. If not, don't worry about it! have a great day!
