Vorzgsweise erbeutet der Seeadler Fische, die sich nah an der Wasseroberfläche aufhalten. Darüber hinaus zählen aber auch Säugetiere, Vögel und Aas zu seinen Hauptnahrungsquellen. Obwohl er in erster Linie kranke oder schwache Tiere erbeutet, kann dieses Kraftpaket Fische bis zu einem Gewicht von fünf Kilogramm und Vögel bis Graugansgröße überwältigen.

The White-tailed Eagle prefers fish that are close to the water surface. However, mammals, birds and carrion are also among its main food sources. Although it preys primarily on sick or weak animals, this powerhouse can overpower fish weighing up to five kilograms and birds up to the size of gray geese.

Ein adulter Seeadler hat eine dunkelbraune Grundfarbe. Der Kopf ist etwas heller, und seinen Mantel könnte man als schmutzig geschuppt bezeichnen. Im Flug ist er unverwechselbar: breite, stark gefingerte Flügel, ein leuchtend weißer Schwanz und ein lang nach vorne gestreckter Hals und Kopf. Am häufigsten kann man den Seeadler bei uns in Norddeutschland antreffen. In Wäldern mit alten, stabilen Bäumen oder an Klippen baut er seine gewaltigen Horste. Zur Nahrungssuche benötigt er Küsten, große Seen oder Flüsse in der Nähe.

An adult White-tailed Eagle has a dark brown base color. The head is slightly lighter, and its mantle could be described as dirty scaled. In flight, it is unmistakable: broad, heavily fingered wings, a bright white tail, and a long forward neck and head.

The White-tailed Eagle is most commonly seen in northern Germany. It builds its huge nests in forests with old, stable trees or on cliffs. For foraging it needs coasts, large lakes or rivers nearby.

Felix von Luckner (1881-1966) was a German Captain Lieutenant who, during the First World War, raided allied shipping from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific. Von Luckner’s vessel was the SMS Seeadler, which began as a steel-hulled, wind-driven merchant ship. In 1916, it was converted into a commerce raider with the addition of an auxiliary engine and two concealed naval guns. Thus, the Seeadler presented the image of a benign merchant ship, its true nature only being revealed when it was upon its quarry. Under von Luckner’s command, fifteen allied merchant ships were overtaken, plundered and sank in only eight months. Von Luckner’s service was cut short when, in August 1917, the Seeadler wrecked on a reef near the island of Maupihaa. Refusing to end his career as a raider, von Luckner set off in a small open boat with a five of his crew with the ultimate goal of reaching Fiji and capturing another vessel. Covering 2300 miles, von Luckner and his men were captured near Fiji and interred in New Zealand. Von Luckner attempted one last escape, although he was recaptured after roughly nine days on the run. He was repatriated to Germany in 1919.
