Igor V. Karyakin, Elvira G. Nikolenko

Abstract

The Greater Spotted Eagle ( Aquila clanga ) is rarely seen breeding in the nests of the other raptor species. From time to time it breeds in the former nests of medium-size accipitridae like the Black Kite ( Milvus migrans ), Common Buzzard ( Buteo buteo ), Northern Goshawk ( Accipiter gentilis ) and Honey Buzzard ( Pernis apivorus ). In 2015 we observed two cases of successful breeding of the Greater Spotted Eagle (GSE) in the former nest of White-Tailed Eagle ( Haliaeetus albicilla ) and Golden Eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ).
