Also known as

Australian white-bellied sea eagle, white-bellied fish-eagle, white-bellied sea-eagle, white-

breasted fish-hawk, white-breasted sea-eagle.

hite-bellied sea eagle occurs in South and Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia

(14)

. Itsdistribution stretches from India and Sri Lanka east to southern China and then southwards through

Thailand, Vietnam, the Malay Archipelago and the Philippines to Australia(4)(9)(13)(15). This species has

also been recorded as avagranton Christmas Island and in Taiwan(13).

In Australia, the white-bellied sea eagle can be found along the coastline of mainland Australia, as

well as in Tasmania and on some offshore islands(4)(15), including Barrow Island(8). In certain parts of

Australia, particularly in the east, this species is also known to be found inland along some of the

larger waterways(4).

Breeding in the white-bellied sea eagle is known to only occur in a relatively small area of its range,

in a patchy distribution along the coastline from Queensland to Victoria and to Tasmania. Some

breeding has also been noted at sites further inland, such as around the Murray Rive

he white-bellied sea eagle is generally found in coastal habitats(2)(3)(4)(5)(9)(15), including offshore

islands(4)(8). However, it is also known to occur further inland along rivers, lakes, reservoirs and

estuaries(2)(10)(11)(15), as well as on lagoons(4)(9). Although the white-bellied sea eagle is usually seen

in coastal lowlands(4), it has been recorded at elevations of up to 1,400 metres in some areas of its

range(3)(4). Despite its preference for coastal and wetland areas, the white-bellied sea eagle is also

found in grassland, heathland, woodland, forested and, occasionally, urban areas

(4)

.

The breeding habitat of the white-bellied sea eagle, which can be at the coast, further inland or on

offshore islands, is generally tall, open forest close to water, although nests have sometimes been

found in rainforest or in remnant trees on cleared land(4).
