CUTE WILLY WAGTAIL
This cute little wagtail posed sweetly for me whilst making sure I didn't get too close. I chose a digital effect that highlighted the trees and texture in the original photo.
These birds are native to Australia, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Eastern Indonesia. Its easy to see where they get their name from when observing the constant sideways movement of their tails. They adapt well to most areas apart from thick forest. Willy Wagtails love insects and prey upon them in open areas wagging their cute little tails horizontally as they do so.
They flit and hop along the ground behind people and animals picking up gnats, flies and moths which have been disturbed. For a small bird, they are surprisingly aggressive and will protect their territory against much larger birds such as Australian Kookaburras. Their bravery extends to attacking domestic cats and dogs should they feel threatened and if a tiger snake gets too close to their nests, they won't hesitate to harass them too. Their continual activity make it hard to capture good shots so I was happy to snag this one.
Thank you for viewing. Have a great day!
Do you have a Zazzle shop? I think that many of your daily digital creations would be perfect printed on postcards and magnets and the like! Zazzle is a print on demand service where you can upload art and choose a royalty percentage...and they handle the printing, customer service and shipping. As long as you own or have permission to use all of the photos and other content being used most programs and generators allow the output to be used for commercial purposes! <3
Oh......thank you very much for passing on this interesting information @creativesoul I hadn’t heard of Zazzle shop and will definitely have a look. 😊
