Icthyophaga leucogaster - the 'Fish-eating White-belly'

ARRrRrR YE SCALLYWAGS!!! GO FLY THE PLANK!!!! YARRRR

Ahem. White-bellied Sea Eagles, as their name suggests, are a species of eagle that prefer places along the coast or near water. It's an opportunistic carnivore, which means it feeds on most prey it comes across, including carrion - though fishes are its main prey. For marine prey, they use a rapid down-and-backward grab while flying low over the water surface.

Part of the White-bellies' courtship ritual may feature an acrobatic feat where two birds lock talons in the air and cartwheel downward, letting go and re-ascending once near the ground (though I've not been lucky enough to see this irl). This behaviour is not exclusive to courtship though, and may be associated with aggressive defense of territory.

Locally, these birds are our heaviest and largest raptor species, measuring up to 85cm (33.5'). You might hear them before you can spot them - their loud honking calls are often heard during their breeding season. In flight, they have a shallow 'v'-shaped pose and their black flight feathers at the outset of their wings conspicuously contrast with the rest of their white plumage from afar.

The calls recorded in this track were taken from Sungei Buloh where there have been a few recorded nesting pairs over the years. Anecdotally they seem to be mobbed by House Crows (Corvus splendens) very often while in flight (in the recording a pair was being followed around by a flock of minimally 15~20 crows).

Lastly, while this bird was originally placed with Bald Eagles, Steller's Sea Eagle etc. in the genus Haliaeetus, this name, with genus Icthyophaga, follows the International Ornithological Congress (IOC)'s world bird list, following a genetic study that placed it in a newly-revived genus apart from the original from 2018. Ultimately where the line is drawn between one genus and another is a little arbitrary, so you might still see papers from recent years not mentioning genus Icthyophaga at all.

Lyrics if you wanna sing along:

On a cold winter morning
In the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign
We ride towards the fight

When the darkness has fallen down
And the times are tough alright
The sound of evil laughter falls
Around the world tonight

Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell
Bodies wasted on the shores

On the blackest plains in Hell's domain
We watch them as they go
Through the fire and pain and once again we know

So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness
Our quest carries on

Far beyond the sundown
Far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment in their eyes

Running back through the mid morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land
To a life beyond the stars

In your darkest dreams see to believe
Our destiny is time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream
So far beyond reality
All alone in desperation
Now the time has gone

Lost inside you'll never find
Lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Woah, woah, whoah
Woah, woah, whoah

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard, now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on
