58.DOF received a parcel with a dead White-tailed Eagle. April 2013
Dansk Ornitologisk Forening (DOF) received a very special parcel. The parcel came from a Danish family which found a dead White-tailed Eagle and sent the bird to DOF. National Veterinary Institute DTU will try to determine the cause of death.

Thanks for the hint to b.h-p, who made also this summary translation of the video which is embedded in the article:
“The 9th of April 2013 DOF recieved a parcel with unusual content. A dead WtE. Found by a family in a forest in the south of Jutland. The family did take a photo of the dead bird and did put it on the Facebook site of DOF and asked which bird this was and was contacted by DOF afterwards. Together with DOF members they succeeded in finding the dead WtE again, and that was why the WtE arrived in a parcel to DOF in Copenhagen. The dead bird is now going to be examined in a try to find out what caused the it´s death – illness, poison or what else. But some time will pass before the result of this is clear. There is luckily no breedingpairs in the area where the bird was found, but it might have been a future breedingbird. The rest is instructions in what to do if someone do find a dead WtE.”

61.New White-tailed Eagle breeding territory near Kněžpole. Czech Republik, April 2013
Several observation reports were sent to the local Department of Environment. Head of the department Květoslav Fryšták confirmed now that the “exotic” birds built two nests in the region. According to the newspaper, Tomáš Špaček, leader of the local Hunting Association, said he knows nothing about White-tailed Eagles in this region and he can´t see a benefit in their presence because in his opinion they could harm hares or other game.

63.Good news for Rambo, the White-tailed Eagle. Poland, April 2013
The Bird was found last week near near Świnoujście. It was in bad condition, had a broken wing and an infection (see 56./Gazeta.pl Szczecin, 9 April 2013). A surgery went well, local vets were able to repair the wing. Also a place for rehabilitation was found, but quite far away in Silesia. The newspaper Gazeta.pl asked their readers if somebody can give Rambo a ride. People shared the article on Facebook, where Artur Kucharczyk from Świnoujście read it. Kucharczyk was the first who offered to bring the eagle to Silesia in his car in his spare time.
