A couple of White-tailed eagle, Havørn (Haliaeetus albicilla) observed from the window at our new house at the Long Island (Langeland), Saturday, 12 October 2013

This impressive bird is the largest European eagle, with huge club-ended wings which make the tail seem small. The head and beak are large and protrude forward, giving the eagle a vulture-like appearance. The feathers are mottled shades of brown, with pale areas on both the upperwing and the underwing
