The magnificent White-bellied Sea-Eagle, still fairly common along our coast and waterways, spends most of its day soaring, or perched on trees at the water's edge from which it hunts.

Their main diet of live caught fish, is further supplemented by sea snakes, water birds, mammals and carrion. Live caught fish and sea snakes account for 90-95% of their diet.

The nest is a large structure, usually built by both parents, near water, high up in tall live or dead trees.

One to two eggs are laid, and it is not unusual for two young to be successfully reared each season. Fledging at about ten weeks of age, the new youngsters reaching full independence by about nine months old.
