That is really remarkable. Yes usually 1 to 3, or slightly more if there is some special source of food. In 1982 I encountered I think 25 Wedge-tailed Eagles perched in several trees within about 200 metres (though there could have been more). That was in SW Qld between Thargominda & Tibooburra. An isolated row of trees beside a little billabong and I think lots of rabbits there. That is the only thing that comes close in my personal experience.

Excuse the image my lens could not reach the distance

You will have to look hard to count them all but I promise they are all there

Yesterday I stumbled across 12 wedges in a tree and more in the air, I have NEVER seen so many together, Is this normal ???? only ever spotted one or two before

Cheers
