Wild Bird Wednesday 399 - White-bellied Sea Eagle

We live in strange times.

This is a White-bellied Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster), resting in a tree in the Yellow Waters area of Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory.

What a remarkable bird. With a wing span around 2 meters, and larger in the females, this is not a bird to be messed with.












This bird was just sitting in its tree, waiting for its dinner to make a mistake! Unfortunately, we left before it sat down to a meal.

  2. Great shots of the White-bellied Sea Eagle. The last one I saw was in Tasmania. i have tried four times to add a picture to WBW. I log in and the link opens up but when I try to post the image it tells me that I have logged out. I will try again later.

  4. The imperial stare alone would keep me from messing with that Eagle, let alone the size and wingspan. (That and the fact that I wouldn’t mess with any bird ever, of course)). Handsome fellow he is. ...we sure are living in interesting times. Which I think is a curse, not a blessing. Best of health to you and your family. Be safe.

  5. Fabulous photos, I do love the birds of prey.

    We are in complete lockdown here even need to have a form to clear us with police if we go to buy food. Only places open are bank, chemist, hospital and supermarket at limited times. Only a few people allowed in at a time.

    Stay safe Diane
