Joyful innocent tuneful happiness...

...or not. These Willie Wagtails may have been singing of territorial ambition or who knows what. I was extremely happy with a couple of these shots bec I've been trying for a year to get a decent shot of a wagtail. They are tough ones. Not sure if the one on the right is a immature but it is smaller.

I can almost hear them singing :)

You're right, they are hard to catch I've tried a couple of times without much success, it's a great capture!
