White-bellied Sea Eagle with building material
White-bellied sea eagles fish in the Strait of Malacca and carry their prey to their nests on the top of the adjacent Pearl Hill. It is a surprise to see them carrying tree branches rather than fish. Each year they add substantial tree branches to their large nests prior to laying eggs.
