Hi Alex,
We see sea-eagles feeding on carrion (roadkilled or otherwise deceased cattle
and wallabies) regularly around Broome, usually immmature birds
Cheers,
John

Subject: WB sea eagle feeding in roadkill?
Alex,
I've seen WB-SEs on roadkill along the same stretch of the Roper Highway
(NT) just east of the Hodgson Downs turnoff.
Once in mid-2014 and again in early 2015. The Roper River is a kilometre or
two distant from the road at that point.
Cheers,
Bob Gosford
