Most unusual for me was seeing an Eastern Reef Egret catch and eat a silvereye at Green Island, off Cairns.

Hi all,
Recently i posted an observation of mine of an Australian Raven
attacking, killing and then eating a Galah. I have also seen a Kookaburra beating a

Blackbird against a branch to either kill it, or tenderise it for
obvious consumption. I would be interested to hear from other birdo's on their sightings of birds eating birds (other than the raptors etc).
"I hope this is not a macabe interest in death that i'm developing"
Regards to all,  Col

Colin Judkins
