Bird Watching: Raising Aussie Osprey, 1 by MargaretK

This little bird is called a Willie Wagtail and it started harassing the male Osprey, who had gone to have a well-earned rest after his fishing expedition.  I couldn't believe my good luck at what I was seeing.  I snapped away like a crazy woman, eating up CF cards like a piranha.  It was chattering away the whole time, trying to drive the Osprey away.  Even though the Osprey's nesting tree is situated out over the water and not really close to anything else,  the Willie Wagtail must have a nest nearby.  These little birds are noted for their courage and will try to chase anything away that they consider to be too close.
