CommentThis is the third of three images of the same bird on the same day. Note the field tracking tag (P8), the aerial and the satellite tracker. The bird is trying to scratch loose a cord which has slipped between its upper and lower mandibles. (The bird was subsequently captured by the project team and the transmitter removed.)
