White Tailed Eagle

The Bald Eagle is a majestic bird of prey, known for being the national bird and symbol of the United States. Adults have striking white heads and tails with dark brown bodies and wings. Their beaks and feet are bright yellow. Juveniles, on the other hand, are mostly brown with mottled white patches and dark beaks. These powerful hunters are often found near large bodies of water, where they hunt for fish, their primary diet.

The osprey (Pandion haliaetus), also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. These birds are the big kingfisher, diving into bodies of water to catch fish. Osprey visit the UK from Africa in Summer to breed. The best places to see these birds are in the Scottish Highlands, but you can see them in England as the move up the country.

The Red Kite (milvus milvus) is a remarkably elegant bird of prey that can be easily recognised by its reddish-brown plumage, angled wings, and distinctive forked tail. Thanks to one of the longest-running conservation programs in the world, this species was rescued from the brink of extinction in the UK. It has since been successfully reintroduced to England and Scotland and is now protected under Schedule 1 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act.
