White-bellied Sea Eagle - a photo on Flickriver

I was very fortunate yesterday to capture an image of the White-bellied Sea-Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster Accipitridae). At first I was frustrated as he was so high, only a tiny dot in the sky, could hardly recognise it as a bird, but as I watched him he slowly came lower and lower. They are a magnificent bird, second only in size to to the spectacular Wedge Tailed Eagle.

Few Australian birds of prey are as spectacular as the White-bellied Sea-Eagle. Although it is similar in shape to the well-known Wedge-tailed Eagle, and almost as large, the sea-eagle is readily distinguished by its contrasting crisp-white and ashy-grey plumage, which adds to its striking appearance as it soars effortlessly on broad wings. Despite its name, the sea-eagle is not confined to coastal areas, and the species is regularly recorded at terrestrial wetlands far from the sea, especially along larger inland rivers and at freshwater swamps and lakes. (Bird Life Australia).

Captured with Nikon D810 and Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens.

Many thanks to all my Flickr photostream followers I have now more than 1.7 million views, thank you. Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it is very much appreciated.
