Eagle

 This afternoon I was doing a survey in Morell, afterwards I cycled from Morell to Five Houses and back to Morell. I saw this eagle as I was crossing the Marie river. When it started to fly I can see it had caught what I think may be a eel.

While I was doing the survey this squirrel came along and gave me a scolding.
