Did mid-year bird census (MYBC) with Doreen and Nessie.
When we have finished the MYBC and were walking towards the starting point, Nessie spotted a little tern skimming the reservoir.
Then we saw 2 white-bellied sea eagles (WBSE) spiralling into the sky. Moments later we saw another WBSE joining them.
All 3 went circling higher and higher.
Suddenly, the highest bird came straight down to attack the lowest bird. The one in the middle joined in and all 3 flew behind the dam building.
Shortly after, 2 birds emerged and begin to spiral upwards again.
The smaller 1 (S1) was flying higher, while the bigger 1 (B1) was ahead.
B1 would occasionally inverse with its talons stretching upwards and almost grabbing the talons of S1.
Finally, B1 managed to grab S1 and both went into a downward spin. Just when it seemed that they were spinning out of control, they break free to gain altitude.
B1 then tried the rituals again several times without success. Eventually they flew inland.
