Fantail (Rhipidura fuliginosa) Piwakawaka Although one of New Zealand's commonest birds, it is much loved for it's perky dancing character, aerobatics and tameness.
Great video, my kids spent the day with me at work today and I was able to show them a fantail that has been hanging around on site for a couple of weeks.
The sandflies were prolific and 'Meepy' (as he was promptly named) was very obliging at removing them. The kids thought he was great and know we are watching yours on youtube :-)

Even though there are some beautiful birds in the UK I do miss native NZ birds and especially fantails... :-/
