Willy Wagtail

My only blip for today, with swimming classes this morning, home for a quick lunch then back out again for an audiology appointment for Glyn, a busy-ish day, its that time again for new hearing aids for Glyn, fortunately he had his yearly hearing test in January before the virus caught us all off guard, we pick up the new ordered ones in three weeks.
Back to the willy wagtail: 
A fiesta little bird he is only 19-21.5cm (7 1/2-8 1/2in) in length, a member of the fantail genus. 
We have seen him chase off the bigger birds like the much larger kookaburra , crows and wattle birds.
He gets his name from constantly wagging is tail from side to side when he is on the ground. 
The indigenous people (back in the day) would call him "stealer of secrets", if this little bird flew into their camps they thought he would pass on the secrets to the next camp.
More Covid19 cases rise in Victoria, 18 cases today, the most they have had in more than two months, its becoming a worry for them, as they revert back to more restrictions just as they had started to lift them.  Apparently here in W.A we are doing the best of all states with zero cases. 
We can't afford to become complacent though.
