Observation details
Square-tailed Kite was seen to raid this Noisy Miner's nest. The kite flew over me and continued ahead, by the time I caught up with it I saw it downing the last of what I presume were the unlucky nestlings - it had already been at the nest for perhaps 20 seconds before I arrived, so I imagine it had eaten a few more. Miners were in a flap until the kite eventually left. First time I've seen a nest being raided.
