This eagle is Norway's largest eagle. The female eagle has a wingspan of two and a half meters. In the birds of prey, it is common that the female bird is larger than the male.
For a long time, this bird was threatened, and when this eagle was protected in 1968, one assumed that Norway had about 400 left. This protection helped this eagle​ (Haliaeetus albicilla) to survive and now it is considered that the hedge population is more than 2000 pairs and still growing.
