I took this pic on fraser Island during bird week in May, and Dad (Harry) thought some of you might find it interesting.
This beautiful Juvenile White bellied sea eagle was barely out of the nest and still very brown/buff in colour. We noticed during our stay that it would sneak over to a nearby Island during the day, and return in the evenings alone.
During one of the boat tours during the Bird Week activities, we went past the Island and got a look at what it was up to. Around about 5 Ospreys were on the Island, with at least one nest there. So there was plenty of fishing going on. Hard to know if the White Bellied Sea Eagle had adopted them as an unwilling family, or was hassling them in hope they’d drop their catch.
