'Stealer of secrets'.....

If you've ever tried to take a picture of a Willie Wagtail you'll know exactly how hard it is to catch them still for more than a few seconds. They flit around bobbing their fantails from side to side as they forage for bugs and insects in the grass.  Weighing in at less than an ounce they're very cute little creatures with black feathers on top, white underneath and very stylish white eyebrows, it's a bit hard to tell which is male or female as they both have the same plumage. This little fella jumped from the grass up onto the railing high above the city in Kings Park, it would have been so cool if I had managed to get the bird in focus in the city shot below, but I was pretty happy to even get him in frame at all and it does give some idea of the location. Because they aren't shy and are happy to flit around and about people, in Aboriginal folklore they are known as 'stealers of secrets' good thing I was concentrating on snapping him rather than divulging state secrets as is my usual wont haha! Have a fab Sunday, take care.....
