JOUBERT B. 2014. Haute-Loire
13.03 : the Short-toed Eagle male restores the nest of 2012
17.03 : he has brought and put 6 branches during 1 hour; this one is difficult to operate with
19.03 : the male arrived on March 10, the female – 17/18; he has given 3 anguine lizards to her in the afternoon; now he is going to depart
19.03 : the Short-toed Eagle male has arrived on the nest with prey and is looking out for the female
20.03 : bringing prey again; his eyes are turned to the sky and his neck is swollen
22.03 : a moment of giving prey to the female
27.03 : the male is touching the female’s beak with his one; it looks like a kiss
27.03 : the male gives a branch to the female instead of a snake or a lizard
27.03 : she is scratching his head; obviously, these two birds are very close to each other
27.03 : the Short-toed Eagle female calls her partner
27.03 : one more touch; this time the female is ''kissing'' her partner; considering known aversion of Short-toed Eagles to physical contacts this is really unique moments
27.03 : she has taken the expressive pose: feathers are tightening, the neck is swelling
