Photos / SoundsWhatBlackbird (Turdus merula)Observertony_willsDescriptionThe blackbird arrived on the branch, flicking its tail and looking around. It then dropped to the ground. A few seconds later a Tui arrives on the branch and the blackbird attacks it from below. The tui hopped along the branch further and was again attacked. I know tui are nesting above here, not sure about the blackbirds. |

At least 6 juvenile/sub-adult bald eagles seen in one spot within an hour and a half. Eventually lost count of who was an individual and who was an eagle I saw previously on that birding trip. Lots of action! |

Quite soon flew close the hedge where sparrows were. |

Comments
Ok, I merged my field, and added a description, you might want to improve it :-)
I've changed all the interaction field names from "Interaction: " to "Interaction->" to stop them messing with the photo tag processing on photo import. When adding photos already tagged with fields to the "Add an observation" page, it was only grabbing the field name text after the colon and so not working properly.
Everything works now that the colon is gone, so long as you use a recognised taxon name. For example, if I tag a photo on my computer with "Interaction->Visited flower of=Rosmarinus officinalis" and upload it, it will get this field added with the taxon Rosmarinus officinalis.
That can save a lot of time if you''re maintaining your own photo library in your computer and tagging lots of photos there and uploading them all at once.
@asemerdj: Aaah this one could be useful, I might move my field "Interaction: Defended territory from" (/observation_fields/3495) over to this more general one, which doesn't involve assumptions about the purpose of a chase. And it could also be useful for predators chasing potential prey, but which don't succeed.
