Hi Meerkat,
Nice photo of a White-bellied Sea Eagle. Very diagnostic shape and quite different from that of Brahminy Kite; especially in the tail/wing shape.

Cheers,
Benji

Hi MLoyko n Benji
Thanks for the ID, I also thought that it will be a WBSE rather than Brahmny Kite due to the size of the bird!

Thanks again!
Cheers!
