Willie Wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys)

Willie wagtails have a fan-like tail that they use to flush out flying insects, which they then eat. They’re an attractive small bird with contrasting black and white plumage. Willie Wagtails can be distinguised from restless flycatchers, a similar bird, by their black throat. They make their nests from bark, grass, and spider webs.
