Raptor

I was out at Gatton today, and was busy digging my car out of a mudhole when this large raptor flew over head.

Nearby was a lagoon/big dam. 

Clarification would be appreciated. :)

Thanks!

That's a Immature White Bellied Sea Eagle.

Those creams and browns, the fingered wingtips and the wedge-shaped tail helps proved it's a WBSE. LJ

Thanks Lorne. I thought it might have been based on the tail, but juveniles always trip me up. :)

Pleasure. Raptors can be tricky at times. LJ
