Watching Waders at Roebuck Bay with George Swann, we were amazed to witness two Brahminy Kites take a Ruddy Turnstone right in front of us!
Thankfully it dropped the Turnstone which survived the ordeal a little dazed but seemingly unharmed.
There are more pictures depicting the capture of the Ruddy Turnstone and its escape on Kay's Brahminy Kite page.
