069 White-bellied Sea Eagle 白腹海鵰
Here share the pictures of the White-Bellied Sea-Eagles 白腹海鵰 that nesting at the Stonecutters Island (昂船洲), grounds of the PLA Naval Base.
 
The Kite Research Group seen the nest since December 2002 during the Black Kite breeding survey.
 
Best,
Etta

Glad to know there is a pair of breeding WBSE in the relative safe place. Hope your Kite Group can keep an eye on them and report on their successful breeding.

Great shots here............
I have a question...
I recently returned to my home in the Tampa Bay area of Florida from a trip to Southeast Asia. (Hong Kong, Thailand etc)
I am curious as to the name of the prominent eagle/hawk (raptor) commonly seen soaring over the city and coastline.
It is large bird with a concave shape to the tail when seen in flight. Larger than our redtail hawk.
 
What a beautiful place and one I cannot wait to return to for the birding experience, as well as the most interesting culture and sights
 
The Sheko area was phenominal birding locale!
 
Thanks for the help, as I have little to no knowledge of the identification of asian birds..........North American birds- yes, Asian- no

They are Black-eared Kites, the most common raptor in Hong Kong.
 
You can find out more about them from here (also by Etta, who took the photo on this page):
