I saw the avocets go up in the air but I didn't see the eagle until about 5 minutes later, so I'm not sure if it took the bird on the ground or in the air. It didn't take long to strip the feathers off and eat the avocet. The crows came to finish it off. Neil

Richard,
             Nice to meet up with you at Mai Po today.  Sorry we didn't have more time to talk.  I suppose this scene is re-enacted every day now so if the weather holds we'll see it again and again. Neil.

Thanks for that correction Michael. I didn't see the bird in the air but I probably would have got it wrong anyway. Neil.
