The White-bellied Sea Eagle, one of Australia’s largest raptors moves with quiet command, soaring in broad circles high above coastlines, islands and estuaries. From these heights, it can watch the water, diving sharply for fish with a precision that belies its size. Found along most of Australia’s coast, including Tasmania, this species is a familiar presence as it moves through the air, carried forward by wind and the rhythm of the water below. In blurred motion, wings outstretched, its shape softened by the slow pull of time, the unrestrained instinct of this majestic animal is captured in an image that appears almost unreal.
