The data included 127 records of prey remains belonging to 27 species of vertebrates collected in and under the nests.

At the present, the main prey species in the diet of the White-Tailed Eagle in the breeding season are: Bream (Abramis brama) – 22.0 %, Black Stork (Ciconia nigra) – 12.6 %, Northern Pike (Esox lucius) – 10.2 %, Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) – 7.1 %, White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) – 6.3 %, Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) – 5.5 % and Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra) – 5.5 %. Together these species makes up 69.2 % or 2/3 of the diet of this raptor. We also established that cannibalism is a character feature of the local population of White-Tailed Eagle, and its proportion is 2.4 %.
