Description
Summary:The Greater Spotted Eagle (Aquila clanga) is rarely seen breeding in the nests of the other raptor species. From time to time it breeds in the former nests of medium-size accipitridae like the Black Kite (Milvus migrans), Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo), Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) and Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus). In 2015 we observed two cases of successful breeding of the Greater Spotted Eagle (GSE) in the former nest of White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) and Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos).
