Hi all

 

I was riding around the lake yesterday (beautiful autumn day) and saw something circling above Sterling park in Yarralumla (that bit of bush between the suburbs and the lake where that historic settlement is…).

So without my binos I was wondering if anyone else saw it yesterday or knows of one in that area? It appeared to have a White Belly with my naked eye = so my first thought was obviously a sea eagle but I am not sure how common that would be? I suppose it could have also been a juvenile little eagle or something but the torso was definitely outstanding from the dark wings. Sorry no photo!
