Great Spotted Eagle
Bird of Prey - Great Spotted Eagle (I'm not a big bird connoisseur and I could be wrong).
Collage of two photos: the bird was photographed in the summer, in the Moscow park, for the background it took the winter nature of Krasnogorsk.
The Greater Spotted Eagle (Latin Aquila clanga) is one of the common subspecies of spotted eagles belonging to the hawk family.
You can meet the Great Spotted Eagle on the territory of the forest and forest-steppe. Inhabitants of the Russian latitudes nest in the European region near the Volga in the Urals and the Yenisei valley in Cisbaikalia. Outside of Russia, they can be found in the west of Poland, Finland, Yugoslavia and Romania. Part of the population is located in eastern China.
As a nesting area, great spotted eagles use high-leaved forests located in river valleys and wetlands. For them, the presence of meadows, clearings, swamps and wastelands is important, since in such regions they find themselves a large amount of food. Some representatives are found at an altitude of up to a thousand meters above the sea.
The population of the Greater Spotted Eagle has declined sharply for a number of reasons. The main limiting factor is the disappearance of the habitual habitat. As a rule, this is due to the widespread deforestation, which are used by great spotted eagles for nesting. In addition, the drainage of bogs and plowing of meadows affect the number of the species. At the moment, the great spotted eagle is in the Red Book of Russia.
