Yes they love hunting worms after rain. They perch up high. Listen and look. Then dive using that strong dagger of a beak to pierce the soft soil. The tail marking is actually stripes - bronze and black stripes.@maggiemae
Isn't he gorgeous. We have one who sits right next to us while we are digging in the garden and manages to spot the worms before we do. He is so quick.
A fav.
