[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The White-bellied Sea-eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) and also known as the White-bellied Fish-eagle or White-breasted Sea Eagle, is a large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, buzzards and harriers.

It is resident from India through southeast Asia to Australia on coasts and major waterways. This large eagle is very distinctive. The adult has white head, breast underwing coverts and tail. The upperparts are grey and the black underwing flight feathers contrast with the white coverts. The tail is short and wedge-shaped as in all Haliaeetus species.

Young Sea-eagles are brown when juveniles then gradually come to resemble adults, acquiring the complete adult plumage by their fourth year.

Fantastic photo with these two majestic birds flying side by side. I love the way they are looking at you.... ;o)

Can you please describe the situation when you took this photo, it seems that you are in the same level as them.

I am also very interested in your opinion of this lens you were using here as I am thinking about buying one of them....

Best regards/Bengt
