WHITE-TAILED EAGLE / HALIAEETUS ALBICILLA / HAVØRN

The white-tailed eagle is a very large bird and one of the largest living birds of prey. It is the largest of the dozen species called eagle to be found in Europe and is the largest eagle across its distribution. The white-tailed eagle is sometimes considered the fourth largest eagle in the world and is on average the fourth heaviest eagle in the world. The white-tailed eagle measures anywhere from 66 to 94 cm in total length with a typical wingspan of 1.78 to 2.45 m.

White-tailed eagles usually live most of the year near large bodies of open water, including both coastal saltwater areas and inland freshwater, and require an abundant food supply and old-growth trees or ample sea cliffs for nesting.
