Eagle Country - an encounter with a Wedge-tailed eagle in Western Australia

‘Waalitj Boodja’ in the local Noongar language of Western Australia translates as Eagle Country. It was here we were headed with eagle expert and naturalist Simon Cherriman to hopefully see and band a young eaglet before it fledged. Simon had spotted the nest with a chick on it several weeks previous to our visit. He didn’t know if the chick was still resident on the nest or had already fledged. Expectations were high as we headed deep into the state forest on a balmy December evening.
