The ravenous birds of prey were photographed tussling in mid-air after one of them catches a fish.
The catch: But a rival is coming in fast
Mid-air clash: The birds of prey close for battle
Claws outstretched, one of the white-breasted sea eagles comes in like a dive bomber to wrest the meal from its rival's grasp.
The attacker succeeds in dislodging the fish - but fumbles and fails to grab hold.
Dinner seems to slip away suddenly to the sea below as the hungry raptors hang in mid-air above Seven Mile Beach near Forster, New South Wales, Australia.
Whoops! The battling birds fumble over the prize
Salvage! One of the eagles spots the fallen fish and makes a rush for it
But all is not lost - at least for the more sharp-eyed of the pair.
The lucky sea eagle is snapped as it comes soaring in at the surfline just where the fish has landed.
Its undercarriage is extended for a final, victorious grab ... and dinner is served.
All mine! The victor flies off with the spoils of war
