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:

I have been on a T.V. Interview 3 weeks ago talking about my research, on the background you can see the great photos and videos of Yossi Eshbol. It is in Hebrew but the beauty of the videos and photos everyone can understand! Best regards!
All four Short-toed Eagles with satellite transmitters are here in Israel /map/. One of them (the male) we know where he is nesting, so hopefully we will get some pictures.
Best regards

Hi! Short-toed Eagles are here. 3 out of 4 S.t.Eagles with satellite transmitters are now here in Israel /map/, the fourth located in Egypt on its way to us!
See migration map of Autumn 06 where 3 eagles wintered in Sudan, one on the borders of Sudan with Chad!
Part with aggregation: You can see here the special phenomenon in my study area /map/, where many Short-toed Eagles flying over one field (aggregation) that is being worked up by a tractor, waiting for the prey (mainly rodents!) to be exposed by the tractor so that they dive quickly on the prey.
Part with Short-toed eagle chasing a rodent: You can see here a Short-toed Eagle chasing a rodent (Gerbil) that has succeeded to get out of a ploughing, and after a relatively long pursuit the Eagle managed to get it.
Catching a rodent: here you can see another part where Short-toed Eagle gets a Field Vole in his talons (you can even hear the rodent screaming).
Attached are some photos of Short-toed Eagles I have taken in the study area /map/ last season, in hand and in nature. Enjoy:
