Hi everyone
This week let's take a look at some birds that are not getting along! The Unfriendly Foes - so share photos of birds getting annoyed with others and generally looking like they are ready to cause some drama.
Also keep an eye out for BIBYs newsletter in your inbox in the next day or 2
These magpies are in no mood for the noisy miner :)
Willy was really pushing it with this Kestrel.

Thanks Duck.

This rather aggressive Little Wattlebird has the tiny Eastern Spinebill diving for cover.
This Channel-billed Cuckoo was being harrassed by the Magpie-Lark's and a Noisy miner.
The other birds seem to sense/know it's a Cuckoo and just want it to move on. I quite often see the local Crows chasing them away.

This Woodswallow was not too impressed with this White Bellied Sea Eagle and chassed him for a good few KM's
Thanks, WD.

Taken today - raven and whistling kite
This photo fail is of two angelic little Tassie Thornbills getting a bit cranky with each other at the end of the day - perhaps fighting over the nights' perch?
