Short-toed Eagles’ arrival to Italy in 2010

Admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 20:11:30 +0000

The first Short-toed Eagle in Maremma /map/ was observed on the 5^th of March in Ansedonia (Grosseto). On the 14^th of March 1 pair was in its nesting territory in Tolfa hills (Roma)/map/: the male was performing a “wing flap display”. The weather now is fine but the temperature is low and approaches zero degree during the night. No snakes at all, maybe the eagles are able to survive without food for few days or to rely on toads?
