It is sparsely distributed from central, southern and eastern Europe, east to Lake Baikal (Russia).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">They prefer to live at low altitudes but after constant persecution they now prefer the higher ones. They build a large nest at the top of the stick style tree. In winter they live mainly in wetlands. It is worth noting that in Cyprus there are only 2-4 couples, who live at the top of Troodos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Reproduction<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In early March-April, the search for a match begins, unless the eagles are already in the breeding area, starting in February. They usually lay eggs in late February, usually two to three eggs, very rarely one. Incubation lasts 37 to 43 days. The female feeds the newborn at the beginning and then stays close to the nest, transferring the food left by the male to a nearby tree. Newborns gain wings on the 14th day to the 55th they develop. They start standing on the 28th day and feed themselves on the 40th day. They start flying on the 60th day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Food<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">They feed mainly on small to medium-sized mammals such as hares and hamsters but also attack birds such as pigeons and pheasants. Also, their diet rarely includes frogs and some large insects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Risks<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Very rare species, migratory with a serious risk of extinction. It is rare in the Red List of Endangered Animals. There has been a rapid decline in Europe over the last decade. There are also threats due to deforestation and the lack of endemic trees in the lowlands, the loss and deterioration of feeding habitats, lack of food, noise pollution in the places where they reproduce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">There are also risks of poisoning, electric shock from electricity cables, nest robbery, poaching, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">There is an urgent need to raise public awareness and involve stakeholders in conservation activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10pt;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Sources: \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">[1] \u0392\u03b9\u03b2\u03bb\u03af\u03bf \u00ab\u03a0\u03bf\u03c5\u03bb\u03b9\u03ac \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u039a\u03cd\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5\u00bb \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u039b\u03bf\u03c5\u03ba\u03ac \u03a7\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03c6\u03cc\u03c1\u03bf\u03c5, AFIAP, \u039b\u03b5\u03c5\u03ba\u03c9\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 1998.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 8pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">[2] Horv\u00e1th M et al. 2010.
