Eagle Eyed Visitors.
We had three visitors yesterday during lunch.
The old dead gumtree was hit by lightening a couple of years ago and died as a result. It is now the stopping place for hundreds of birds each day and yesterday there were a large number of Starlings having a rest. Suddenly three Wedge Tailed Eagles took roost and the Starlings froze. The eagles surveyed their resting place and sat for about 15 minutes during which the other birds didn't move a muscle. WedgeTail Eagles 010a.JPG WedgeTail Eagles 007a.jpg WedgeTail Eagles 012a.jpg WedgeTail Eagles 004a.jpg The Wedge Tailed Eagle is Australia's largest raptor with wingspan of over 2.1 metres. It is not often seen in towns but as we live a few km. out of town we see them occasionally. Regards Rick.
