Dance Of The Pied Wagtail

Classical guitar meets soft rock and written in the style of Bach. Here I used Bach's full name to get the timing of the opening phrase, 'Johann Sebastian Bach.' This comes from my album, 'Birdsong After Midnight,' by Harpaxe. Available on Amazon, Bandcamp, i-tunes etc.

There are a couple of them in central London, Spitalfield Market, They hang around the pavement chairs and tables outside costa coffee, I was watching them yesterday.

There is at least one pair in Kirkintilloch which do much the same thing.

We have a bird in Western Australia called a willy wagtail. In local Noongar language it is called "djidi djidi" which is an onomatopoeia name based on the call it makes. Is is known as a mischief maker and children are warned not to follow them because they will lead kids astray.

I like these clever little birds. Every other year some hawks move into the area and decimate the sparrows and tits but the wagtail's dipping and swooping flight path seems to outfox them so they survive.

[@pmd7914]

@@JohnCouplandguitar sounds like they have similar behaviour, very cheeky. I suppose the English colonists named them according to birds they were familiar with.

Hope all is well at home John.

Getting better, Isobel is recovering from the stroke she had in January. She can once again manage the stairs but yours truly is still head cook and bottle washer.

@@JohnCouplandguitar she's making a good recovery then. I hope your getting some help yourself as it can be very tiring on a carer. Glad your still able to do some of the things you enjoy. Take care.
