Hi All,
Driving down towards
the hide at Werribee today I was surprised to see a juvenile Swamp Harrier
sitting next to a moulting White-bellied Sea-Eagle. All the field
guides say the Sea-Eagle is larger than the Harrier, but this eagle looked
smaller. But it had a white head and body with darker wings. Is this
unusual behaviour to have different species so close?. When I pulled up,
the Harrier appeared to be feeding the Sea-Eagle!.
I have video footage of the birds sitting together although
not the Harrier possibly feeding the Eagle. I found it quite
fascinating. A digital video would've been handy.
Saw all the other species
mentioned on b-a over the last few weeks.
Happy
birding
Marlene
