The Willie Wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys) is one of the largest of the Australian Fantails, and possibly the most well-known and best loved birds of Australia. Around 18.5 to 21.5 cm long, the Willie Wagtail is a frequent sight in almost all habitats except thick forest. He particularly favours the semi-open woodland or grassland with scattered trees. His range includes the entire mainland of Australia and northern Tasmania. The plumage is black above with a white belly. The Willie Wagtail can be distinguished from other similar sized black and white birds by his 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. The Willie Wagtail perches on fences, low-hanging branches, posts, anything available, and hunts for small creatures on the ground or in the air. Wagtails are never still for more than a few moments during daylight hours; even when perching they flick their long, black tails from side to side constantly, twisting about to better watch for prey. Although he is active in defending his territory, the Willie Wagtail is very tolerant and tame around humans, often feeding and nesting in close proximity of houses and human activity.
