When Crows Attack!

Went for a drive down to the Royal National Park in Sydney yesterday. After missing a photo opportunity earlier in the day of a Wedge Tailed Eagle gliding on thermals, I didn't want to miss out on another chance if I spotted them again.

Well, I wasn't entirely ready for my second chance either... I was shooting some wide angle shots with my 16-32mm when I noticed that this time, a Sea Eagle was soaring above me. I went to quickly change the lenses over to my 70-200mm when a Crow comes out of nowhere and starts attacking the Eagle. Was pretty cool watching the two "dog fight".

Crows are pretty bird birds, but gee, comparing it to the Eagle makes it look tiny.
