Booted Eagle
Hieraaetus pennatus
Booted eagles inhabit open woodland, forest clearings, scrub, and farmland across parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. They hunt from a perch or while soaring, taking small mammals, birds, and reptiles with a rapid talon strike. This relatively small eagle occurs in both pale and dark plumage forms, and can migrate long distances between breeding and wintering grounds.
