Photographer Clarke Espie, 75, caught the amazing moment when he heard screaming in the sky above his camping place in the Cromarty Wetlands of Queensland, Australia. Grabbing his camera without thinking, Clarke was surprised to see a small pig screaming as it was carried through the air by a huge sea eagle.
The pig was finally shared and eaten by two of the giant birds. Clarke, an experienced documentary filmmaker, says at that moment he was in the area to take photos of its wildlife. He never expected to catch such a breathtaking sight.
He said, “I never imagined seeing two sea eagles flying low over my car, one with a wild pig in its powerful talons. With its powerful wings, the sea eagle tried to fly higher before it landed its prey upon a small island within the wetlands, where together the eagles shared the prey. Clarke added that it was one of the most unusual sights he had seen.
Describing the moment when he saw the eagles, he said, “I thought it must be a fish at first but as soon as I focused, I could see it was a small pig. It must have weighed around five kilograms. It is not something I’ve seen before.”
