Sažetak
While watching the birds at Podunavlje fish-ponds in Kopački rit on January 28th 1999, I observed two immature White-tailed Eagles squabbling for a fish. One of them flew to the other side of the pond, getting hold of a large shellfish (Anodonta cygnea). Flapping its wings, the eagle lifted for about 60 cm from the frozen pond's surface, holding the shellfish with the claws and then he dropped it, letting it to break into pieces on the ice below. Then both eagles began to feed on the fleshy contents of the shellfish.
