A pair of white bellied sea eagles (Icthyophaga leucogaster) were gliding with the paragliders at Caloundra.

@ada 30 years ago I saw a pair of Ospreys hanging with a paraglider off Moffat Head. After checking the glider out with side glances, they wheeled left and effortlessly soon vanished north.
