A large stick nest placed below the canopy in a tree in a deciduous forest (rarely in coniferous forest). Old nests of another species of raptor or Black Storks are sometimes used. The clutch size is usually 1 to 3 white eggs with reddish-brown markings. Incubation starts with the laying of the first egg and lasts for about 42 days. The nestling period is 63-67 days. Usually, only one chick survives, as the result of cainism | A large stick nest placed below the canopy in a tree in a deciduous forest (rarely in coniferous forest).

| - | Cool Facts: There is strong evidence of hybridization between this species and Lesser Spotted Eagle (''Aquila pomarina''). In some European countries mixed pairs can constitute 50% of Greater Spotted Eagle pairs. It is unclear whether this represents a new phenomenon or a conservation concern, but ''A. pomarina'' is far more numerous than ''A. clanga'' in the zone of overlap, and the range of ''A. pomarina'' appears to be spreading east, further into the range of ''A. clanga''. | + | '''Cool Facts:''' There is strong evidence of hybridization between this species and Lesser Spotted Eagle (''Aquila pomarina'').
