Description
The Lesser Spotted Eagle (Clanga pomarina) is a large Eastern European bird of prey. This is a medium-sized eagle, about 60 cm (24 in) in length and with a wingspan of 150 cm (59 in). Its head and wing coverts are pale brown and contrast with the generally dark plumage. The head and bill are small for an eagle.The lesser spotted eagle breeds in Central and Eastern Europe and southeastward to Turkey and Armenia; 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 one to three 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, but the female starts incubating when the first egg has been laid, thus the first young to hatch usually outgrows its clutch mate(s) and will kill and even eat them sooner or later.

Żurawia widziałem ze sto razy, ale orlika jeszcze nie. Nigdy przez lornetkę z tak bliska nie widziałem ptaka drapieżnego jak na tym zdjęciu. Fotka robi wrażenie.
