The willy wagtail might be small, but as a mum it’s bold, busy and completely fearless. Found right across Australia, these lively black-and-white birds build neat cup nests and fiercely defend them — often taking on much larger birds (and even people) if they get too close. Both parents help raise the chicks, constantly darting about to catch insects and keep up with hungry mouths. They do best in open habitats with plenty of perches and insect life, and organisations like Greening Australia support healthier landscapes for species like this. If something ventures near the nest, expect a lot of tail-wagging and a very direct message to move along.

Here to add a playful touch to any summer wardrobe, these women's cropped tees come with a breezy attitude that is bound to be loved on hot days. Designed with a short body that helps show off the wearer's silhouette and dropped shoulders for an extra stylish touch, each cropped tee comes preshrunk so that it can retain its size even after multiple washes.
