One second until impact

Hi Guys, well Alice and I are still in Dubbo and we now intend to leave here Sunday morning toward Vic eventually, we are certainly having a great trip.

Anyway while sitting outside this morning with my Camera and lens at the ready I spotted this crow being harassed by this little bird, and boy was he giving him/her a hard time, brave little bugger i reckon.

I enjoyed the show, hope you do to.

Leon

Ever get the feeling you're not welcome. The wagtail can go its hardest, it won't bother a crow. And yes, great shots. Which lens was it?

Great shots leon - captures the drama unfolding very well.
Nice 'action-stopping' camera settings too.

If only you were running a couple of weeks late. The ASNSW site is on the way back via Mudgee (halfway between Mudgee and Lithgow), but we are not back there until the 4th/5th of Dec.

That little bugger will harass the crow until it racks off... with good reason. If the crow finds the nest it will eat the eggs/young. God Speed to the Wagtail.
