Willie Wagtail - Rhipidura leucophrys Whenever you meet this little bird it will follow you at a close distance ( 1.5 to 2 m) I am convinced it just looks for insects which fly up when disturbed by your walking.

The willie wagtail is a passerine bird native to Australia, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Bismarck Archipelago, and Eastern Indonesia. It is a common and familiar bird throughout much of its range, living in most habitats apart from thick forest. Measuring 19–21.5 cm in length, the willie wagtail is contrastingly coloured with almost entirely black upperparts and white underparts; the male and female have similar plumage.
