I brought some students to Fort Canning Park to have a look at the White-bellied Sea Eagle’s (Haliaeetus leucogaster) nest. There are two chicks in there and here are some photos of them with one of their parents.
They were feasting on this fish which the parent brought back. Big and yummy, I suppose!

    I notice that whenever there is an eagle flying around, all the crows would flock towards it.
    What are the reasons for this behaviour?
    Is it because the crows look upon the eagle as their “chief” or “deity”?
