Description
A black and white bird named a Willie Wagtail, or Willy Wagtail, sitting on a barbed wire fence on a country farm mid north coast Australia with a soft yellow background bokeh. A difficult little guy to capture as his movements and flight are very quick. Whilst sitting, he wags his tail often and very quickly, hence his name. A very flighty bird.

[From Wikipedia] The willie (or willy) wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys) is a passerine bird native to Australia, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Bismarck Archipelago, and Eastern Indonesia. It is a common and familiar bird throughout much of its range, living in most habitats apart from thick forest. Measuring 19–21.5 cm (7 1⁄2–8 1⁄2 in) in length, the willie wagtail is contrastingly coloured with almost entirely black upperparts and white underparts; the male and female have similar plumage.
