An annual report on the monitoring of Short-toed Eagles in Puy-de-Dôme Department (France) /map/ is available on the LPO Auvergne website:

The first Short-toed Eagle in Maremma /map/ was observed on the 5th of March in Ansedonia (Grosseto). On the 14th 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?
This is just a small gallery of photos taken in 2008 in the national park "Smolenskoe Poozerje" /map/. The Short-toed Eagle nest was found by Marina Sidenko and was visited several times by her and her friends.
