About Each Bird (Descriptions)
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ #}
The African Hawk-eagle weighs about 1.45kg and inhabits woodland and forest across sub-Saharan Africa. It is a bold and powerful hunter of medium-sized birds and mammals.
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.
