Seagulls are flying rats.

Looks like a Willie Wagtail to me (Rhipidura leucophrys). Very cheery birds to have around. Got a lot of spunk, too. They'll fearlessly chase birds twenty times their size.

Mirek,

you better start learning to identify these beautiful birds. I'd crop them differently though...

Nice little bird though...

Oh Mirek, thanks for posting that! I love Willy Wagtails! (They are a type of fantail).

BogongBreeze is right- they are not too shy, and like to `investigate' you when you're in their territory. If you do something `wrong' they will tell you off, giggle Theres nothing like being told off by a small bird

Dear Mirek,

We also have a small salt water in-ground pool, which attracts Kookaburras, sacred kingfishers, and very rarely the willy wagtails and pee-wees (Mud larks). But I must confess that it has become a frog pond over the last year, since the water restrictions prevent us from using hoses to maintain it or clean the filters.

It must be such a treat seeing goannas swim in your pool! We don't have any in our area.

Giggle- sorry I misunderstood. My folks live up North and the Goannas swim in their pool. But I think they affect the water and it becomes a chore to keep the chemical balance right.

I love your picture of the Goanna! Its such a buzz encountering a huge one! i haven't seen one in a couple of years.
