At McQuoids Hill this morning, two eagles were after the airborne flock of sulphur-crested cockatoos. One almost snared one of the stragglers in the flock of cockies, but missed out. The other, after a couple of unsuccessful attempts, managed to grab a cockatoo
from above and carried it some distance before disappearing below the tree canopy over on the adjacent farmland. I've not seen a wedge-tail take a bird on the wing before, although John Bundock managed a photo of one in a tree with dead cocky at Tidbinbilla
some time ago.
