Several photos made by Tomi Muukkonen in Israel and in Spain during the season 2007 are put on the birdphoto.fi website. Images of flying young, immature and adult Short-toed Eagles come under our notice because of well recognizable age characters of the plumage.
See please photos of Short-toed Eagles made in August, 2007 in Gironde (France) /map/. These scenes of Short-toed Eagles’ life are kind contribution of Françoise Gérardin:
Here we present three different authors’ texts dedicated to Short-toed Eagles of three different regions: Crimea, Belarus and Turkmenistan. They are extracts…
…from S.A. Bukreev’s book (Ru):
• Букреев С.А., 1997 – Орнитогеография и заповедное дело Туркменистана [Ornithogeography and reserve management of Turkmenistan] – М.: Центр охраны дикой природы (Biodiversity Conservation Center), 159 с.
…from Y.V. Kostin’s book (Ru):
• Костин Ю.В., 1983 – Птицы Крыма [Birds of Crimea] – М.: Наука, 240 с. /map/.
…and from V.V. Ivanovski’s work (Ru):
• Ивановский В.В., 1992 – Трофические связи редких хищных птиц Белорусского Поозерья [Food chains of rare birds of prey of Belarussian Poozer’e] // Оттиск, №173, 66 с. /map/.
New personal site of famous French researcher, Yves Boudoint /map/, has been created. Among the sections there are many different photos of Short-toed Eagles, old and relatively new texts (Fr) and presentations of materials on CD and DVD dedicated to the birds. The site’s content tells its own story.
A Short-toed Eagle painted on it’s underwing coverts with red, was seen in Jibraltar this Autumn. No one declared doing such thing and it could be someone not a researcher who has done this marking. At beginning we suspected it is one of mine, but later and after describing the marking seen, i understood it is not one of mine, and possibly not of a researcher because the mark was a huge mark with no coding method.
If anyone knows something about that please contact me at:

my previous mail (sameh@pob.huji.ac.il) is not longer active.

The images are not big, but the bodies positions and some aspects seem quite unusual.
