White Tailed Eagle

White-tailed eagles are very loyal birds and mate for life. They are known for re-using nests, sometimes for generations. A nest in Iceland was in use for more than 150 years! With its broad long wings spreading more than 2 meters in length, the white-tailed eagle is an exceptionally spectacular bird to observe. There are stories about white-tailed eagles that hunt roe deer in groups, although usually unsuccessfully. This fascinating bird had practically disappeared in Europe. Intensive re-introduction programs to protect it have resulted in a steady recovery.
