At Jarowair, all of the Willie Wagtails that visit us have been affectionately nick-named "Gilbert". They always seem so happy when they visit us on the veranda, on the fence and flitting around the property, and they remind me of the spirit of the beautiful little Willie Wagtail that befriended my Great-Great Uncle, Australian Artist G.T.M Roach (Gilbert Thomas Meredith Roach) and inspired him to write a memoir about his friendship with a particular wagtail many years ago.
