Border Collie Frolics as Wild Eagle Swoops Over Tasmania Farm

A Tasmanian dairy farm’s border collie gets very excited when a resident wild wedge-tailed eagle appears over the fields, according to its owner Andy Jackman.

This video from early July shows Mimi chasing and jumping as the eagle swoops over fields in Oldina.

Speaking to Storyful, Jackman said: “Mimi is obsessed with the soaring eagle, and each time she sees the bird she lets us know when they are above us in the sky.”

The wedge-tailed eagle is Australia’s largest bird of prey and subsists largely on rabbits, according to the New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage. Credit: Andy Jackman via Storyful
