The White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is one of the largest and most powerful birds of prey in the world. Recognized by its broad wings, impressive size, yellow bill and distinctive white tail in adults, it is a magnificent raptor associated with coastal regions, wetlands, lakes, rivers and large bodies of water across Europe and parts of Asia.

As an opportunistic predator and scavenger, the White-Tailed Eagle feeds primarily on fish and waterbirds, while also taking mammals and carrion when available. Its exceptional eyesight, powerful talons and enormous wings make it highly effective at locating and capturing prey. It often hunts by flying low over water or perching patiently while observing its surroundings.

White-Tailed Eagles form long-term breeding pairs and build large nests, often in tall trees or on cliffs. They typically raise a small number of chicks each breeding season, with the young remaining dependent on their parents for an extended period. Mature birds can live for many years in the wild.

Once threatened by habitat loss, persecution and chemical pollution, the species has recovered significantly in many areas following conservation measures and legal protection. Today, the White-Tailed Eagle serves as an important symbol of successful wildlife conservation and the restoration of healthy wetland and coastal ecosystems.

With its remarkable strength, intelligence and commanding presence, the White-Tailed Eagle remains one of nature's most impressive aerial predators and an important species within the ecosystems it inhabits.
