Some time later another Sea Eagle flew off over the sand flats and I photographed it soaring out there. From the underneath pattern on it's wings it looks like a juvenile to me.

Blue-faced Honeyeaters - and a Sea Eagle
I said in my last post that Blue-faced Honeyeaters were noisy and aggressive! Well here's the proof about aggressive! This photo was taken this morning at Inskip Point. I count six of them all annoying the Sea Eagle!

What a fabulous photo of the Blue-faced Honeyeaters annoying the Sea Eagle. It is always a fantastic site watching small birds mobbing a large one.
ReplyDeleteThanks John. It was great finding this right after my previous post!

Hi Nickolay - I rather think I interrupted their fun when I got close to get good photos as they flew off after that. Usually they are so very noisy!
ReplyDeleteFantastic pics of the eagle.
