About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
The African Goshawk is a medium-sized forest hawk weighing about 314g found across sub-Saharan Africa. It is a swift and agile hunter of birds and small mammals in dense woodland and forest.
The white-tailed eagle is Europe's largest eagle and the fourth-largest eagle in the world. Once extinct in Britain, it has been successfully reintroduced to Scotland and Ireland through conservation programs. These powerful raptors can live over 25 years and form lifelong pair bonds.
