Piwakawaka

I always thought Piwakawaka (fantail) was a very long name for a very little bird... 

And yet Piwakawaka sounds lovely when you roll it off the tongue. This little fellow was one of a pair keeping me company on a walk around the sea front.  Sadly I didn't get a photo of the tail fanned.

Piwakawaka sound like squeaky hinges!
