The White-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is one of the largest living birds of prey. It is sometimes considered the fourth largest eagle in the world and is on average the fourth heaviest eagle in the world.[1] It is the UK's and Europe's largest bird of prey, with a length between 70-90cm, and a wingspan between 200-240cm. Adult males can weigh between 3.5-5kg, and females between 4-7kg.[2] It has brown body plumage with a conspicuously pale head and neck which can be almost white in older birds, and the tail feathers of adults are white. In flight it has massive long, broad wings with 'fingered' ends.[3]
