Well done Wanda, a lot of people mistake these for willy wagtails. I think this is the first photo of one of these I have seen on this forum. I have been trying for yonks to get one myself. You are right about the noise they make, it is unique. Ray
They are a cute little bird with those zipping "wet fart" calls - as I compare them. :)
There is a pair near Richmond in NW Sydney that just raised four chicks. They fledged about late last week and I got to say good bye as I photographed them before departure into the big blue.......sky.....
I would not dare get carried away. I understand that I have not found a new species like you Perthwings. I am just happy for the title which you have bestowed upon me. Ha ha :-)
Ha ha Windhover that is a different way of explaining their call. I sort of thought more like a grinding sound. How lucky for you to see the whole family.
Hi Perthwings, yes they are very much like a Willy wagtail and the sound is a real giveaway. They are very quick and do not sit still long for photos.

Thanks Ray. Oh to join someone so famous as you Perthwings. Thank you, what an honour! :-)
