Dutch white-tailed eagles build new nest

This video shows a young white-tailed eagle, and ravens, in winter in Belarus.

Translated from warden Hans Breeveld of Oostvaardersplassen national park in the Netherlands today:

Last year it seemed that the sea eagles might not breed this year, maybe for the first time since 2006 in the Oostvaardersplassen. We thought that because the nest last summer during a storm was blown off its tree. It looked for a long time like the birds would not build a new nest, although previously it had been proved proved once that they can make a new nest in a very short time.

The last time the nest was ready within one month. Last week my colleague was in the field, and saw to his delight that close to the location where the nest was last year, again a white-tailed eagle was building a new nest.
