Since their primary source of food is fish it is possible to see both white bellied sea eagle as well as the osprey close to large bodies of water. The only difference between them is the way in which they fish. The sea eagle skims the water surface for fish whereas the osprey can dive deeper once it locks target on a fish.

White bellied sea eagle
Not a great shot still kept it since it is my first sighting. Shot at around 11:30Am in the morning harsh light. Also the image is a reasonable crop.



Osprey
Posted an image of this guy sometime back. This is the scape version. Actually a crow was seated right on top of the left side branch which is seen in the image. So while photographing this guy was sort of worried the crow might irritate the osprey ( which it usually does with other birds ) and drive him off :)



UPDATE :
Since the crow did not disturb the osprey and allowed me to photograph peacefully as thank you to the peaceful crow :) posting an image of osprey along with him :))
