Phil Liggett talks about birds, sewage treatments works and good chopper pilots

The chopper pilot and I were coming in at 2,000 feet off the mountain. We came right up behind a Wedgetailed Eagle (Aquila audax) and the chopper pilot said “Look at this – I’ve never seen this in my life!” We were no more than 60 feet behind him and this magnificent Wedge-tailed Eagle was turning his head to check us out in the chopper behind him. An unbelievable and absolutely memorable experience that will stay with me forever.
