Skarphedinsson, Icelandic Institute of Natural History Although bird of prey nestlings are considered valuable sentinels of local environmental contamination, an effort to evaluate their extended suitability for large-scale monitoring was yet to be endeavoured. We have therefore sampled blood and body feathers from white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) nestlings along the Swedish, Finnish, Estonian, German, Danish, Norwegian and ...
