That's him there
That's the Swamp Hawk
Well
either the Brown Hawk or Swamp Harrier
Absolutely amazing, hey mate, hey
Now these guys here generally, what they'll do
is like what I've been doing blowing smoke into the air
is they will hover about
25, 30 sometimes even higher, meters above the ground
And they have the sharpest eyesight, they will spot absolutely anything
a frog, grasshopper, swoop down
and pick it up in these
sharp, sharp antlers which
is why I'm being so careful
And he will come down
scoop up his prey and
take right off
so
they will eat a variety of thing, these guys
including carion
which is dead food
I just like to sit here and let him
Let him just see what I am, who I am
embrace with him
and watch him - get released back
but he is absolutely beautiful
you can just see his eyes
the sharpest eye sight
generally you will know these guys are about because, you hear this:
generally you will know these guys are about because, you hear this:
generally you will know these guys are about because, you hear this:
And they'll do that call and you will hear them calling all over
And I'll tell you mate, you have been worth it
You have been worth getting you on camera
He's absolutely beautiful, and you can just see
all over the coloration
nice brown coloration, contrast with white
absolutely beautiful
and his eyes
you can just see his eyes
the colour of his eyes is spectacular
Well anyone will tell you that the best thing about --
that interacting with an animal
is getting to release him, and he's absolutely beautiful. So mate
seen the best of you, now...
you go out to the wild and
do your thing mate
he absolutely spectacular ... absolutely amazing ... out into the blue
