White Bellied Sea Eagle being harassed by a Masked Lapwing

Going off the fact that the tail is rounded rather than square.

Heard on back porch at night. Then it climbed a post supporting the roof. It then wandered into the garden.

Was 48°C

A pair of Osprey flew overhead with a fish. The fish was held facing forward, presumably to reduce wind resistance. Flying in a southerly direction towards Georges River.

Disturbed from its sleep in a box of wall brackets under a house

3-4 pairs actively examining holes within eucalyptus tree. More pics to come ...

Breeding

Some Little Pied Cormorants present

Not prepared for this shot, just happy to capture the eagle bringing prey back and calling to its mate.

Feeding on a Bony Bream

Approx 5cm long, found in my lillypilly in the garden. Was told the legs would have had an injury which has caused them to grow back in this curled shape.

These photos are in sequence as taken; they show a parent Sacred Kingfisher feeding insect prey to its fledgling offspring (this season's brood).
