Young sea eagle ringed in Dutch national park

This 2019 Dutch video is about sea eagles.

Today, warden Hans Breeveld in Oostvaardersplassen national park in the Netherlands reports that on 27 May 2016 the eaglet on the local sea eagle nest has been ringed.

In 2006 was the first ever white-tailed eagle nest in the Netherlands since the Middle Ages there in Oostvaardersplassen. Ever since, the eagles have continued nesting there, and have spread to other areas in the Netherlands as well.

This year’s eaglet was rather heavy, 4 kilogram, so it is probably a female. Its parents had brought fish, coots and grey lag goslings to feed it.
