The white-tailed eagle, which is Britain’s largest bird of prey, has made a comeback to the United Kingdom’s skies after it was spotted recently for the first time in 240 years.
The white-tailed eagles, also known as sea eagles, have an outstanding wingspan of 2.5 meters (8 feet). Sadly, they completely disappeared from the English skies since they were last observed in the Isle of Wight back in 1780. During the 20th century, these birds became extinct due to illegal killings. The last known sighting was in 1918 when a final one was shot in Scotland, The Independent reports.
