Reminds me of the time I was walking across the low heathland on the 
Pinnacles ridge near Lockley Pylon, and a Wedge-tailed Eagle was following 
me, flying so low that I could see its eye studying me. It was rather 
unnerving and at the time I couldn't help wondering whether the Wedge-tail 
had ever been known to attack people!
Regarding flocking Satin Bowerbirds, in the Blue Mountains they often form 
large autumn-winter flocks around the towns, attracted by the proliferation 
of fruit-bearing weeds such as privet, and also congregating around some 
bird-feeders in gardens.
Cheers,
