Few have seen what is surely one of the world's great acts of predation: a wedge-tailed eagle catching a kangaroo.
No one has ever filmed it.
A Wedged Tale is the story of one man's quest to shoot just such a shot.
This man is Simon Cherriman. A 21st century bushman, Simon has been climbing trees, finding bird's nests, and going bush his whole life. A Wedged Tale follows him as he chases eagles across Western Australia, meeting a variety of wild animals along the way.
Born and raised in the forests of the Perth Hills, Simon is a native species. The bush here is his home and his habitat. A Wedged Tale is Simon's story, recounting his adventures as he pursues the elusive wedgie 'predation shot', but its focus is on his enjoyment of all the life around him, and especially his passion for Australia's most powerful predator.
