First international winter census along the whole Danube River: 750 White-tailed Eagle were spotted on January 12th by 300 counters!
Hainburg (Austria) serves as nodal point in South-East European White-tailed Eagle protection these days. The Symposium on January 12th at Kulturfabrik Hainburg, initiated by BirdLife, DANUBEPARKS and WWF, brought together international White-tailed Eagle experts and over 200 interested participants.
300 voluntary counters braved cold and wind to monitor 3.000 river kilometres at the Danube. They reported a pleasant result: In nine Danube countries, 750 Eagles were counted! The number proves the perfect suitability of the Danube River as habitat for the White-tailed Eagle.
