David and Goliath. A Willie Wagtail (Rhipidura leucophrys) confronts a Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster). Despite several minutes of harassment (including the smaller bird jumping on and off the head of the larger bird twice) the Sea Eagle only seemed to be slightly inconvenienced by the affront. Eventually however the tiny bird got its way and the Eagle moved on without a fuss. Despite the difference in size the mighty midget of the Australian bushland is tenacious and shows no fear. Willie Wagtail: 19-22 cm Sea Eagle: 70-90 cm; span c. 2 m #birds #nature #Australia #myphoto
