When I arrived at the Tower Hide late on Friday morning I found a juvenile and adult Imperial Eagle feeding of what I thought at first was an egret carcass.  When I got the scope on it I could see the spoon bill and was sad to realize it was a Black-faced Spoonbill.  There was no one else in the hide to tell me what had happened.
I have put up a short video here for those interested. https://vimeo.com/54647305

Imperial Eagles feeding on Spoonbill by neilfif11

I arrived at the hide about 9.30 am and there was a couple leaving the hide but they didn't say anything about eagles.  By the time I set down my equipment and opened the window a few minutes later and scanned with my bins I saw the eagles.  The couple came back because they had seen the eagles from the path. Nobody had seen any action.
