Phillip,
This reminds me of an experience my daughter had some 20
or so years ago when she was doing field work for her geology honours
degree.
It was a cold winter's day and she was squatting down
examining a rock formation on a hilltop near Nimmitabel when a large shadow came
over her. She looked up to find a wedge-tail hovering about ten feet above
her, obviously mistaking her auburn hair for something to catch. She said
that, alarming as it was see to see the eagle so close, she had wished she had
had a camera with her to capture the moment.

This is of no
significance, just fun. I was out for a stroll on My Taylor this morning. Was
warm and sunny. I was standing still and became aware of a shadow rapidly fall
on me and pass by. I looked up to see a Wedge-tailed Eagle fly over just past
the sun. Quite nice really. Also the pair of Kestrels that I seem to find on
every visit, still there again.
