An Australian photographer in the right place at the right time has captured a shot of a magpie “surfing” on the outstretched wing of a wedge-tailed eagle in flight, worthy of a double-take.

Wayne Reinke, 65, was out scouting for photos in Gunalda, Queensland, early one morning when he saw the wedge-tailed eagle, one of his favorite birds, being “harassed” by a magpie.
