These little birds are truly fearless.  My late friend and companion Chaos, a huge German Shepard dog often had Sir William the Wagtail alight on his back and pull hairs from the dogs back then dash off with the prize hair using it for nest building material. Also have a photo of Willie harassing an Osprey.

This is beautifully exposed, Tom. Good detail in the blacks and the whites. Nice pose, detail, and eye contact. Good job! Neat story!

Very nice shot Tom! Amazing details and nicely exposed image where both dark and bright feathers are nice.
