Hi birding-ausers,

I have had a request about Willy Wagtails and wondered whether the group had any thoughts on this :

What do willy wagtails eat. we have one who serenades us most of the day here at work because he likes to preen himself and sing to himself in the reflective windows. he's in full view of me & helen and we love it and want to entice him to come back every day. He also likes the car windows and looks at himself while sitting on the side mirrors.

I know they are insectivorous but I have not heard of any one trying to attract them by supplementing their diet. I thought Murray magpies were the most common bird attracted to side mirrors of vehicles.

Cheers,
Peter.
