Last season's live broadcasts from December to April had the next 250,000 page views. So far this year, from the end of November, the figure is just over 35,000.

"You have to get very close and see them live in their proper elements and not just in photographs," says Johanna Ahl, National Park Manager.

Her colleague Peder Gustafsson continues:

- It has probably become more popular to watch animals at all and the eagles are a little special, they are big and beautiful.

At the feeding table in the middle of the moss there is a hide, a nest where bird watchers and photographers can sit and watch the birds up close. And also sitting there is popular.

- It's pretty much crowded now during the winter season, it's great fun. Then you have to sneak out into the dark in the morning as discreetly as possible and sit all day and go back when the darkness falls again, says Johanna Ahl.

Traffic-killed animals

The food the eagles get consists of animals that have died in traffic. It is usually deer, but also moose and wild boar. The latter seems to be the eagle's favorite.

"That meat is eating much faster," says Peder Gustafsson.

The feeding that is transmitted live is important from a number of perspectives, not least for research purposes. The population development can be followed and also the birds' movement patterns. Both sea and king eagles are happy to come to the table and many fly here from other countries, such as Finland, Estonia and Latvia.

Fox and Foggy are the park's own permanent king eagles, who have lived on Store Mosse for over 15 years.

But why do you need to feed them, they can't find food themselves?

- They can, but the eagles have been extinct for a while and they wanted them to get pure meat in them, free of lead and chemicals. And in this way we help to strengthen the population, ”says Peder Gustafsson.
