The Butcherbird killed the Silvereye and hung it in an acacia fork only to have it stolen by a Pied Currawong, no doubt attracted by the ruckus from the rest of the silvereye flock.

Hi, as a moderator I need to id the images. Both images should be of the same species preferably the same bird. If I id the first image as a Grey Butcherbird I also id the second image as a Grey Butcherbird. This is obviously incorrect. Could you therefore please remove the second image and resubmit as a Pied Currawong. Chris

Guess I should have called the image "Silvereye", the same bird in each photo, but I'll do as you suggest.

Yes, good idea, but thanks for the change. Chris
