Crop absolutely bulging with fresh rabbit, what a glutton! Probably a successful 'perch and pounce' ambush, so if Wedgies are lions, I think I'm going to nickname Little Eagles the leopards of the Australian bush. It was still present 6 and 7 May, no doubt digesting its big meal! On ebird a Little Eagle at J'bra wetlands on 6th, so highly unlikely to be the same individual.
