Black-breasted Buzzard and Emu Egg​

Although a natural phenomenon this is from a series of photos I took at a wildlife park near Darwin.
The Buzzard smashes a stone onto the egg in order to break it for its contents. It took him a couple of goes as he threw the stone from as high as he could reach!
In this case the contents are made from hens' eggs and the Emu egg is made of clay.
Here's a link to the series of photos: https://mdahlem.net/birds/6/bbuzzard.php
