This is the beautiful Magda, resident wedge-tailed eagle at Healesville Sanctuary. Magda awes the visitors with her majestic flyovers during the birds of prey show. On this particular day the keeper pointed out two small dots in the sky. These dots became progressively larger and we soon discovered they were a wild wedge-tail eagle pair coming to scope out Magda’s territory. It was indeed an amazing spectacle as the wild eagles pinned their wings to their sides and dived down through the air. Magda became increasingly agitated and flew to high branches around the arena and called out warnings to the intruders. Eventually the wild eagles alighted in the trees around the amphitheatre and it was decided that Magda should be retired to her quarters for her own safety. They were quite literally breathtaking moments as the wild eagles descended, I feel blessed to have witnessed this event.
