The golden eagle Aquila chrysaetos is a powerful bird of prey that mainly hunts rabbits and mountain hares, but will also catch foxes and large birds. It can be seen soaring high over upland areas and remote glens in the north and west of Scotland. Golden eagles have large home territories, nesting on rocky cliff faces and in trees where they build a large nest or ‘eyrie’. These nests are often used by successive generations to rear their own young.
