Although it is similar in shape to the well-known Wedge-tailed Eagle, and almost as large, the Sea-Eagle is readily distinguished by its contrasting crisp-white and ash-grey plumage, which adds to its striking appearance as it soars effortlessly on broad wings. Despite its name, the Sea-Eagle is not confined to coastal areas, and the species is regularly recorded at terrestrial wetlands far from the sea, especially along larger inland rivers and at freshwater swamps and lakes.

Scientific name: Haliaeetus leucogaster Accipitridae
