It looks like some sort of corvid and an eagle - a redtailed eagle at a guess  :innocent:
 
I wonder if the crow is attacking the eagle or if they are someone's pets so it's genuinely hitching a ride.
 
It's amazing  :D

What wonderful photos.  I have heard that crows will attack birds of prey.

Amazing pic Henchard  :thumbsup:

I presumed the little bird was parasite-picking like you see some do on game animals in Africa  :)

We have some buzzards round here, they're forever getting hassle from crows and magpies  ::)

Excellent photo's  :thumbsup:

There is some dispute about this picture, A red tailed blackbird on the back of a red tailed hawk in the USA

Great pics.  Henchard, you should get it to the printers and get a 6foot version for your hall, beautiful, isn't nature amazing, gives us the most beautiful artworks.
