Fay and I once stood fascinated at the Nathan Road Wetlands as we observed
as a Willie Wagtail harassed and appeared to momentarily LAND on the back of
a Swamp Harrier.  It continued this attack until the harrier cleared off to
another section of the wetlands.

We have of course often seen Willie Wagtails "attack" crows.
