 | | Willie Wagtails are at home in a wide variety of habitats, but avoid dense forest and particularly favour semi-open woodland or grassland with scattered trees. |
 | | Wagtails are never still for more than a few moments during daylight hours; even when perching they flick their long, fl tails from side to side constantly, twisting about to better watch for prey. |
 | | This species is unrelated to the Eurasian wagtail (Old World bird having a very long tail that jerks up and down as it walks) s in the family Motacillidae (Pipits and wagtails). |
