Re: birding-aus Bubbas

They don't come much cuter than a Willy-wagtail baby not long out of the
nest.  It was doing lots of wagging with a tiny tail while its 2 siblings
hid among the leaves of a feral Camphor Laurel.  It's parents were pretty
excited at our approach too!  This was in a park at Indooroopilly in
Brisbane.  The only visible nest was a rather large, neat, mud nest, big
enough for a Mudlark.  I see Pizzey & Knight says the Mudlark frequently
nests near a nesting Willy Wagtail.  Perhaps it's a matter of more lookouts
on duty.  I couldn't see any eyebrow on the fledgeling.
