Willie Wagtail

Rhipidura leucophrys

Description:

Brown blackish bird with long tail. White eye brows and white belly. Some white marking on the top of the wings.

Habitat:

Near the boat pier in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Picking crumbs under a restaurant table.

Notes:

This bird was hopping around on one leg. It was very agile and clumsy at the same time. So it probably was a young bird and has just lost or damaged its leg. Very gutsy little thing.
