89. Wild Willies

We have a high walled courtyard off the main bathroom. 

When my children were preschoolers, they planted a branch of cypress there.

Surprisingly, a pine tree grew. It must have come up from a seed on the stick. 

The kids thought themselves master gardeners, especially when a pair of Willie Wagtails built a nest in that pine.

68. Wagtails in the Wilderness





I’d been walking near the house, but needed to go further away. Three weeks of staying home meant I had a bit of cabin fever.

48. The Wagtail and the Wallaby


Willie Wagtails are aggressive when breeding. The Willie that’s lived in our front yard for 3 years is nesting now. She wanted a drink and harassed a wallaby to get one.

Just before we went on holidays to the coast, my husband asked me to take our kids for a long walk.
