User's notes

2 wedge-tailed eagles circled a paddock, and a crow then decided to chase them, one of the wedge-tailed eagles put up with it for a while then turned around and chased it, attacking it several times while in the air, which I have never seen before. The crow flew away and the eagles moved on

Agree the wedgetail but the crow surely was a raven. Crows are not endemic to the siting location.

@BLSHfour you are correct, it is a raven, my mistake
