Little Eagle Hieraaetus morphnoides ACT by Stuart Rae
The Little Eagle Research Group has amassed a wealth of data on the breeding ecology and range of the eagle, and a botanical perspective helps explain the bird’s distribution.
Lunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome a gold coin donation. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and thank all those who have donated. Please note: unless otherwise indicated, talks are in the ANBG Theatrette.
Bookings are a good idea in order to reserve a seat at the talks you wish to attend; some talks book out very quickly. Bookings can be made from the Friday before the talk until Wednesday night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.

The Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Some summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. A donation to the Friends for the use of this material will be gratefully accepted. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au
The talks are in line with COVID-19 guidelines which can change rapidly.
Abstract
Stuart, a visitor at the Research School of Biology, ANU, has been studying Little Eagles in the Canberra area for the past three years as part of the Little Eagle Research Group. And the group have amassed a wealth of data on the breeding ecology and range of the eagle. The birds are widespread in the ACT, although easily overlooked. By studying the ecology of the species, we can understand why the birds use what habitats, hence a botanical perspective helps explain the bird’s distribution.
