Circaetus gallicus information navigator

At this time, when Short-toed Eagles are arriving to their breeding sites in northern parts of their European and Asian areal, we would like to draw your attention to the article about Short-toed Eagle from the monograph of Dr. Alexander Abuladze:

• Abuladze A., 2013 – Materials towards a Fauna of Georgia. Is. VI. Birds of Prey of Georgia. – Tbilisi. – 218 pp.: Short-toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus Gmelin, 1788 – P. 65-71. (En).

Heartfelt thanks to the author for sharing the text and photos of habitats! Johannes Jansen‘s review of the book can be found here.

Just a few words about a section of the LPO (Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux) Mission rapaces website. The section is dedicated to Short-toed Eagle and consists of the following subsections:

› Actualités – news, also you can subscribe to the feeds;

› Le Circaète – general info about Short-toed Eagle in France;

› Suivi et conservation – monitoring and conservation;

› Sensibilisation – sources of detailed information;

› Les acteurs locaux – local stakeholders in a map.

Now the section is updated regularly. Please subscribe to the news via RSS to be notified about news.
