Observation details

I was looking at the group of whistling ducks sitting on the ridge. Suddenly I noticed the ducks starting to fly away. Then I witnessed this Booted Eagle pouncing on to a Lesser Whistling Duck like a rocket. For over 10 minutes it stood on top of the duck with its wings expanded. Then later it feasted on the killed duck.
