White-bellied Sea Eagles (Haliaeetus leucogaster) are a common sight in coastal and near coastal areas around Australia. They can be observed perched high in a tree or soaring over waterways and adjacent land, looking for prey. As a highly skilled hunter, they feed mainly on fish, turtles and snakes but will readily also take birds and mammals.
