Lecture on the white-tailed eagle by Dr. Oliver Krone with interesting facts and the latest research findings, including on a controversial topic
It is an impressive sight: with a wingspan of up to 2.40 m, the white-tailed eagle is our largest European eagle. The Mecklenburg Lake District offers ideal living conditions with its waters rich in fish and waterfowl and forests with old trees. There are now 20 white-tailed eagle territories in the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park. For many years, the young white-tailed eagles have been ringed by specialist Dr. Oliver Krone from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) in Berlin. All white-tailed sea eagles found dead in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern are also sent to the IZW, where Dr. Oliver Krone examines them for causes of death.
On Wednesday, February 11, Dr. Oliver Krone will come to the Karower Meiler to give a presentation on the white-tailed sea eagle and report on the results of his research. One focus of his research is on lead poisoning in white-tailed sea eagles. But other wild animals, such as the wolf, will also be discussed. The lecture at the Karower Meiler Nature Park Center begins at 6.30 pm.
