So keeping up the tradition of a bird a day today will be Pied Currawong a nasty evil looking bird with baleful malevolence and an incredibly exotic voice. You couldn't call it a song as such. Years ago a British bander came to Philip Island and wanted to band everything. One of the everythings was one of the aforementioned Pied C birds and it ripped his hands to shreds but he was having a whale of a time as his blood kissed the soil of the island. he retired back to base bloody, unbowed and triumphant with a heap of fresh scars to show of to the Blue Tit mob. Mind you after he was shown a better way of handling nasty birds he was a tad happier.
I am going to post one of my favourite pictures from Broome where a largish goanna took on a Black-headed Python and lost. The lizard was swallowed and the snake got fat.
