Wedge-tailed Eagle

Aquila audax

Description:

As the predator fly's into a no fly zone , the crows attack for this is there air space and not for the Wedgie to do a flyby in?

Habitat:

Flying high looking out for food that comes out of cover on the ground or air.

Notes:

I am thinking this is a wedge tail Eagle?

You've got to admire the spunk of a little bird chasing after a predator ...

It's certainly the right size for a Wedgie judging by those crows. I don't know why all sorts of birds give them such a hard time. Around here ravens, maggies, wattle birds, currawongs all chase them at once. I've even seen Indian mynahs having a go. Just not fair I reckon.
