Today whilst trying to film White-eared Monarchs on a gorgeous Queensland
winters-day near Dayboro I noticed a couple of large birds passing overhead,
to my astonishment a pair of Wedge-tailed Eagles fell out of the sky and
landed in the middle of a pond, they were talon-grappling and must have been
unaware of the water beneath them, a third bird then arrived and joined
them, two flying-off and the younger bird flew to a tree to dry-off.
Until today didn't realise that raptors (...apart from Ospreys) could swim
so well.
