Lesser Spotted Eagle (Aquila pomarina)
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The Lesser Spotted Eagle breeds in Central and Eastern Europe and southeastward to Turkey, and winters in Africa. This is a very wary species of open or lightly wooded country, in which it hunts small mammals and similar terrestrial prey. This eagle lays 1-3 white buff-spotted eggs in a tree nest. As usual for eagles, only in breeding seasons with very abundant prey does more than one young fledge however: the female starts incubating when the first egg has been laid, and thus the first young to hatch usually outgrows its clutchmate(s) and will kill and even eat them sooner or later.

a ta e luata de la distanta cea mai mica si are si are cele mai multe detalii. restul care le-am vazut erau trase mai de la distanta si acvila zbura.
ma intreb daca o fi acelasi exemplar (familie).
