The Willie Wagtail is the largest, and most well-known, of the
Australian fantails. The plumage is black above with a white belly. The
Willie Wagtail can be distinguished from other similar-sized black and
white birds by its black throat and white eyebrows and whisker marks.
The name wagtail stems from the constant sideways wagging of the tail.
Young birds resemble the adults, but have paler, slightly rusty edges to
the feathers of the wings.

U nas się mówi, że pliszka porusza cały czas ogonem, bo się nim chwali. Pozdrawiam.
We are told that the wagtail moves his tail all the time, he praises him. Yours.
