Tugging on Superman's Cape

This Whistling Kite flew too close to a Magpie's territory and the Maggie took off after it in hot pursuit.

Thanks! The Maggie didn't just see the Kite on its way, it actually kept up with it for quite a while and they went higher than I thought Maggies would normally go. It was like looking at fighter planes having a dogfight.

I think the Maggie's main aim always was the tug on the tail. Probably the safest place to go for.
