In our culture, the white-tailed eagle is simply an eagle. Just look at its silhouette as it majestically soars overhead. And yet, the matter is not so obvious. The white-tailed eagle is proof of how little we know about aerial hunters. Even the most common ones are, in popular consciousness, just eagles and hawks, but birds of prey are a large and diverse group. We have here valiant hawks and their smaller cousins, the sparrowhawks, which would be better than eagles on coats of arms and banners. There are also carrion eaters, the kites, which still sat in the streets of London in the mid-18th century, helping to clean up the city.

Not to mention the fastest bird in the world, the peregrine falcon, which can reach speeds of over three hundred kilometers per hour in a dive. Finally, we also have the white-tailed eagle, which turns out to be an opportunist and a sluggard. This is just the beginning of a long list. Fighters, hunters, predators, raptors. Their secrets are known to few. Among the initiates is Konrad Malec, who decided to tell how birds of prey live, why it is difficult to distinguish them by their voice, what the falcon's eye, white tail, and sensitive beak are for, what magnetism is, and who is bigger, females or males, and how the latter try to please their partners.

The book "Fighters. The Life of Birds of Prey" is not only a fascinating read, but also an appeal to protect these extraordinary creatures. Konrad Malec explains in an accessible way why we should care for birds of prey, which are by no means gloomy killers, have a rich and extremely interesting life, and are also allies of humans. It is a book that will surely interest every nature and ornithology enthusiast.
