Willy Wagtail

I find it difficult to do this bird justice with a photograph. They really are special to see going about their business.
The acrobatics they do to catch insects close to the ground is something I can watch for possibly hours. However the most interesting behavior they have is the one that gives them their name. When they are in-between zapping insects, they swivel around, usually on the ground, waving their tail around in what appears to be simply showing off.
An amazing bird that I am so happy to have living in the same street.
