Willie Wagtail Brid (Rhipidura leucophrys)
The Willie Wagtail is the largest, and most well-known, of the Australian fantails. The plumage is black above with a white belly. It can be distinguished from other similar-sized black and white birds by its 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the enchanting beauty of the Willie Wagtail bird, also known as Rhipidura leucophrys. As the largest and most well-known species among Australian fantails, this charming creature is a true symbol of Australia's diverse avian life. The contrasting black plumage on its upper body elegantly merges with a pristine white belly, creating a striking visual contrast. What sets this wagtail apart from other similar-sized black and white birds are its distinct features - a jet-black throat that stands out against its snowy white eyebrows and delicate whisker marks. One cannot help but be captivated by the constant sideways wagging of its tail, which gives rise to its name "wagtail". This endearing characteristic adds an element of playfulness to an already captivating bird. Even in their youth, these young Willie Wagtails bear resemblance to their adult counterparts. However, they possess slightly paler feathers with subtle rusty edges on their wings. Through NiCK's lens, we are granted a glimpse into the world of this magnificent avian species. The attention to detail in capturing every feather and contour showcases both the photographer's skill and dedication to preserving Australia's natural wonders through his artistry. This print serves as a reminder of nature's boundless beauty and our responsibility to protect these precious creatures for future generations to admire.
