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.

Today, the White-Tailed Eagle serves as an important symbol of successful wildlife conservation and the restoration of healthy wetland and coastal ecosystems.
