“Fresh fish is definitely a preferred food choice of the eagles. However, when food is scarce or an opportunity arises, it does not mind taking the second best.

“This White-bellied Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) was seen picking up a dead fish from the Bukit Panjang pond. Judging from the condition of the fish, it has got to be dead for some time, left floating on the surface of the water. This presented an irresistible offering to a hungry eagle.”
