I heard some magpie-larks making a racket, followed the noise, and disturbed this goshawk drinking. The magpie-larks continued to pursue the goshawk, and then all went quiet. I thought I'd lost the bird, until I heard an usual peeping sound - and there it was, above me. I have to say, I've very glad I wasn't a Little Brown Bird flitting around beneath this intent bird of prey!
