White-tailed Eagle

The White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), also known as the Sea Eagle, Erne (sometimes Ern), or White-tailed Sea-eagle is a very large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which includes other raptors such as hawks, kites and harriers. It is considered a very close cousin of the American Bald Eagle and occupies the exact same ecological niche in the Old World.
