wbse chased @ pasir ris - April 2012

White-bellied sea eagles are a common sight over the skies at Pasir Ris. Especially over the forest bordered by Elias Road and Pasir Ris Drive 3 as there are at least 3 nests in this small patch of forest.

Eventhough these eagles are the Singapore's largest resident birds, they are sometimes mobbed by smaller birds keen to keep their air clear of large raptors.

The clip shows a much smaller bird mobbing a wbse in the sky over Pasir Ris Drive 3.

This is going to be a rare sight once the forest patch is developed. Last chance to see.
