"Discover the Majestic Albicilla: The White-Tailed Sea Eagle" DDE-90025052 Behold the magnificent Albicilla, also known as the White-tailed Sea Eagle. This awe-inspiring bird of prey, scientifically named Haliaeetus albicilla or Erne, Aquila albicilla, is a true marvel of nature. Intricate handcoloured copperplate engravings by William Hayes and his daughter M (Matilda) bring to life this rare and curious species from Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park. These illustrations capture every intricate detail, showcasing its impressive wingspan and striking features. Did you know that Albicilla eggs are among some of the largest in the avian world? They can be compared to those of elephant birds, ostriches, cassowaries, condors, and other remarkable creatures. Their size alone is a testament to their significance in nature's grand tapestry. Not only does Albicilla dominate the skies with its majestic presence but it also shares its habitat with fascinating creatures like water spiders and Purpuricenus beetles. It forms an integral part of a delicate ecosystem where each organism plays a vital role. While exploring diverse habitats worldwide, we encounter stunning avian wonders like Jamaican todies or Mariana kingfishers amidst vibrant sunflowers. These glimpses into different corners of our planet remind us how interconnected our natural world truly is. Accipitres such as eagles and kites have always captivated human imagination with their gracefulness and power. Colour lithographs beautifully depict these regal birds in flight – symbols of freedom soaring high above. Witnessing an Albicilla's safe landing after an exhilarating flight is nothing short of breathtaking. Picture No. 11992477 captures this moment perfectly - a testament to resilience and adaptability that these birds possess.
