User's notes
While photographing the wood ducks a Willie Wagtail flew onto a branch just in front of me. The Willie Wagtail was very active, flying up and down the length of the dam. It was a tad cheeky, as it appeared to swoop the ducks on several occasions, leading to the male duck snapping at it when it flew low overhead. It also seemed to fly in loops around the dam with a Welcome Swallow. I only saw one wagtail but it did keep returning to a small tree on the far side of the dam.
