White-bellied Sea eagles in India are beginning to emulate their counterparts in Australia and Thailand.
They are making their homes on power towers holding high-tension wires.
They have a wide distribution range on the sea coast of India from Mumbai to the eastern coast of Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka in southern Asia, through all coastal south-eastern Asia, southern China to Australia.
It is categorised as being of ‘least concern’ on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
It occupies the same localities for years and generally builds nests in tall trees near the seacoast, tidal creeks, and estuaries.
