Species List : White-tailed Eagle Haliaeetus albicilla
The White-tailed Eagle used to breed since ages on Gotska Sandön until at least the 1910s. The last nest was in a huge pine on the western part of Höga land. After this the White-tailed Eagle was not seen on the island for many years. From the mid 1990s and onwards the number of White-tailed Eagles observed has increased every year and it is most likely that this magnificent species soon can be counted among the breeding birds of Gotska Sandön again.
First record:
