This little "wagtail" brought a smile to my face this morning. It just looked too adorable walking about with its tail bopping up and down in the air.  A busy little bird it was. It caught my attention flying about outside my kitchen window. I took some  photos of it and I hope you can see it. Do birds also try to get your attention? I hope everyone will have a good Tuesday. Photos are mine of the "wagtail".

several days ago, my neck got so sore because i was looking up at the 2 birds who are 'kissing' each other. i did not leave the area until one of them flew. it is that bird that sounds "kakakakaaaaak". hahaha.

It is so sweet that they were kissing @ridingbet. I am not sure what sound this bird makes but I like its long tail.

Yes, our suburbs still have a lot of trees, so there is quite a bit of bird life. Sorry you don't get to see many birds. I am happy this one caught my attention.

@bluesa This will gross you out, but I've only been pooped on by a bird once in my life. I was at the beach and laying on a beach blanket getting a suntan when a seagull flew over and pooped on me....and it landed in my mouth!

Great photos! I never saw a wagtail, but I do love watching all birds. Just yesterday, a huge blue jay rested in a shrub next to a window. They are a sure sign of spring!

Oh that is a lovely bird. I had not seen one like it ever Catherine. What a lovely photo you caught of him. He is precious. Not many birds reach me here as I am upstairs and there is no where for them. But maybe when I move.

IN my case, it was a rabbit in our front yard a couple of weeks ago that got my attention, it didn't seem to be bothered by my taking pictures.
