Was wishfully looking at a clump of trees along a road hoping to see a nest of some kind when I did see a nest of some kind. It was kind of largish but it seemed incomplete. My guess is that the nest was still being built and was 'under construction'. Despite the pitter patter of the rain and the windy conditions moving the Albizia trunks quite a bit, there was something else with a distinctive shape close to the nest. It was only when I zoomed in that I was able to see the characteristic terminal black band on the white tail. This was not the commonly seen white-bellied sea eagle but the more rarely seen grey-headed fish eagle. I had only seen this species at the nearby SBWR just a handful of times. From reports by others, it seems that there was a pair of GHFEs in the area. The nest is clear evidence that a pair of eagles had settled into the area.
This particular bird just sat out the rain and was not frazzled by the much larger jet-powered thunder birds roaring closeby.
Hopefully, the birds do complete building their nest and have chicks soon enough. It's important that locally found species find a foothold wherever they can.
