Awesome photo, temps. Birds of prey always fill me with a sense of awe.

We have wedge-tailed eagles here.



A couple of years ago, I was driving to work and saw what I though was a small kangaroo standing on the road, eating some roadkill (which struck me as a little bizarre). As I got closer, I realised it was a wedge-tailed eagle. It also became apparent that it was not about to move out of the way for me, despite the fact that I was driving about a tonne of metal towards it at 120kmh. It played chicken with me and won, forcing me off the road to drive around it. Gotta respect that
