Tõnn, a juvenile greater spotted eagle, is enchanted by the sea. More accurately, it is preserved in his instinct to move along the coast and then arrive at the right place. But the coastline is the territory of the white-tailed eagles, and these big birds don’t tolerate the presence of spotted eagles near them…
