A Trip To Healesville

Last weekend, Mum and Dad came for a visit. We spent Saturday relaxing and on Sunday we went for a trip to Healesville.

The birds of prey show was a highlight.

The birds flew quite low over the audience, so you got a very close up view of them. They were really impressive. Unfortunately, in this photo, the eagle is out of focus, but it gives you an idea of how close they came and what it looks like to come face to face with Australia's largest raptor.

This tiny little Currawong was protecting his eggs and attacking the massive birds of prey. Here he is swooping the wedge tailed eagle.
