White-bellied Sea-Eagle
COMMON NAME: White-bellied Sea-Eagle
CATEGORIES: Inlet
These majestic large raptors are often seen soaring high over the inlet looking for prey below.
Adults have a distinctive white belly and underwing.
Juveniles are more brown in colour and can be seen honing their aeronautic skills with their siblings, sneaking up on each other and play-fighting.
They can be differentiated from Wedge-tailed Eagles as they lack the diamond shaped tail.
