Eurasian Sea Eagle

Meet the Eurasian Sea Eagle!

The white-tailed sea eagle, also known as the white-tailed sea eagle , is a bird with broad wings, a large head and a thick “butcher's” beak. A bird of the Old Continent, it has a brown color and white tail, as well as a yellow beak and legs.

It is distributed in most of Europe, northern Asia and even reaches Iceland and Greenland. In this species, females are significantly larger than males.

What are its habits?

As an adult, the eagle eagle is a solitary bird. Not so during its youth, when it is often seen in pairs.

It builds large nests in the treetops and on cliffs, where it lays an average of two eggs per clutch. The chicks, once hatched, remain in the nest for two or three more months.

Its diet is based mainly on fish and waterfowl , although in times of scarcity, it is capable of feeding on carrion and fish discards.
