New interview about the biology and current conservation situation of Short-toed Eagle in Italy has been given by Francesco Petretti. Like two previous interviews about Short-toed Eagles it is published on the Interviews section of the European Raptors website.
These photos were taken by Miroslav Dravecký (Raptor Protection of Slovakia – RPS) during short summer expedition in Kiev /map/, Chernihiv /map/ and Zhitomir Regions in the north of Ukraine:

Two texts dedicated to distribution of Short-toed Eagle are brought to your attention:
• Germán M. López-Iborra, Rubén Limiñana, Diego Pavón and José E. Martínez-Pérez, 2010 – Modelling the distribution of Short-toed Eagle (Circaetus gallicus) in semi-arid Mediterranean landscapes: identifying important explanatory variables and their implications for its conservation // European Journal of Wildlife Research. Original paper. Published online first (En).
• BBL project "Klimaatwijken", 2008 – A climatic atlas of European breeding birds. Short-toed Eagle (Circaetus gallicus) – 
(En). This document can be found on the Lokale actie page of the Natuurpunt website. The climate change theme has already been touched on our site.
We would like to present a work of Georgiy Petrovich Dementiev published in 1932 in Ornothologische Monatsberichte:
• G. Dementiew, 1932 – Bemerkungen über die geographische Variation des Schlangenadlers [Comments about the geographic variations of Short-toed Eagles] // Ornothologische Monatsberichte, Bd.40, № 6, S.172-173. (De).
This work was dedicated to geographical variations of Short-toed Eagle. The Circaetus gallicus heptneri subspecies was described in the article. It is more often considered now as a clinal variation, but however the article is still of interest and therefore it has been translated to English and to Russian with help of our friends.
A projected model of the plumage changing for Short-toed Eagle has been made by me for discussion and rectification by comments from the practising observers. This aims to make easier field recognizing of different ages of Short-toed Eagles for birdwatchers.
Heartfelt thanks to Ciro Patricio Romero for publishing his M.Sc.Thesis on our site! Relations between Short-toed Eagle population and snakes populations in Spain are examined in the thesis:
• Ciro Patricio Romero, March 2010 – Examining the possible effect of forest area, abundance of snakes and snake species richness on the abundance of Short-toed Eagle, in Spain – M.Sc.Thesis: 110 p. – (En) {rough translation}.
