A winter visitor in Lesvos!

A few days ago the Kalloni Enviromental Information Center was informed that a young white-tailed eagle is spending a lot of time for the second consecutive winter in Lesvos. The bird carries a special transmitter, which was placed during its care by the Green Balkans - Wildlife Rehabilitation and Breeding Centre of Bulgaria, and its movements are monitored via satellite.

The White-tailed Eagle (Haliaetus albicilla) is a very large species of sea eagle widely distributed across Northern and Eastern Europe and Northern Asia and in our country is considered an endangered species.

The young White-tailed Eagle is dark brown in full body, as seen in the picture provided to us by Stelios Zannetos, researcher of the Department of Environment of Aegean University, who spotted the bird last year.

Keep your eyes open and you might see him too!
