Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, children of all ages, I am proud to present you (the readers) the all new GeckoandFly, re-branded with a brand spanking new layout that took me 4 sleepless nights. This theme is named after Willie Wagtail, an Australian passerine bird that caught my attention and not to mention the close encounter I had when the bird pecked me for being too close to its nest.

Their most notable feature (and what gives them their name) is their long black tail, which they fan out and “wag” from side to side when hunting. Even while perching they will flick their long tails from side to side, twisting about looking for prey. Isn’t that cute?

According to Wikipedia: “It is moderately territorial, particularly when nesting, and will readily chase off larger birds or other animals.”

Willie Wagtail is no bigger than the fist of a teenager, probably the size of a small boy’s fist, yet the most amazing thing I came across on my way to university is the sight of Willie Wagtail pecking a Raven ten times the size of its own size. Size doesn’t matter, does it?
