Grey-headed Fish Eagle in a nest with a juvvy!

First individual sighted 23rd January 2010 with Steve and Musa near a big body of water in Kuala Baram.


Empty nest spotted 24th January 2010 with Steve, Sara and Musa during early morning 2010 AWC run in Kuala Baram. We weren't sure if the nest belonged to GHFE since no adults were sighted near the nest. Well, there was actually a lone forelorn looking silver leaf monkey on a nearby tree.


Nest and adult sighted by Seng, David, Carol and Nina 02nd February 2010 and later confirmed to be Grey-headed Fish Eagle with at least one downy junior on 14th February 2010.
