We, Roman Vatrasevich and I, began to photograph one male Short-toed Eagle right after his arrival to the breeding territory in Mezhrechenskiy Park /map/, were taking the photos every 5-8 weeks and finished to do it about a week before his departure to Africa. We aimed to record the moulting of the biggest primaries.

Please view the results: simple gallery or 3D wall.

Short-toed Eagle nest in Eastern Kazakhstan

These photos of Short-toed Eagle nest were taken by Sergey Domashevsky this year during an expedition to Eastern Kazakhstan /map/. You can read about the expedition in detail on the UBPRC website. The photographed Short-toed Eagle nest was situated very low above the ground on the saxaul, that is typical for the semi-desert zone. In the end of June the egg was still incubated.
