Description

Habitat

Biome: Terrestrial ; Freshwater ; Marine [1].

Ecology: It prefers forested coasts4 where it scavenges and kleptoparasitises Osprey Pandion haliaetus1,4,9. Some pairs also hunt far inland and others, especially on the eastern islands, appear to have entirely inland ranges where they prey largely on northern common cuscus Phalanger orientalis and perhaps arboreal rats and fruit bats2,6,7. It also hunts over deforested areas where it is reported to scavenge dead mammals including feral dogs4.
