World Bird Wednesday - Birds in the Wild Wood

While walking in our little Wild Wood the other day a Wood

Duck took to the sky at my sudden appearance at the dam.

It flew like a speeding train, if you enlarge it, you will see the

relative speed of duck to background.

Then, in a tree near by, a Willy-wagtail started serenading me,

lifting up his head in song

and really getting into the swing of things. I was rather chuffed

by his solo performance just for my delectation.

Moving along, I gathered this little Superb Blue Wren to my

bag for the day. He must be a young male, the blue was quite

light compared to the mature males we see strutting their

thing in full mating plumage.

Thank you Springman for providing this venue for sharing our birds.
