After he sees his specialist (he has six monthly visits to have his glaucoma checked) he always pops next door to a nice little cafe (River......this is opposite the Round House in Fremantle) for a coffee. He did the same thing yesterday and while sitting there he saw something black and white moving under one of the tables. He asked the waitress if they had a cat but it turned out to be a willy wagtail that was hopping around under the tables picking up cake crumbs and the like. Those little birds are just so cheeky and seem to have no fear of anything or anyone. You can't help but love and admire them.
I think the bird was moving so quickly it was difficult to determine just what it was at first. MOH doesn't carry a camera with him (not ever) but I found this picture which shows just how willy wagtails do enter buildings at times (or perhaps this was a table on the footpath).
All I know is MOH was so delighted to watch this little bird enjoying itself so much. A rather nice way to have your floor cleaned.
