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.

The Wiley InterScience website database allows to find full texts or abstracts of articles dedicated to Short-toed Eagle. Here are two of 12 articles from the actual search results:

• D.E. BAKALOUDIS, C.G. VLACHOS, G.J. HOLLOWAY, 1998 – Habitat use by Short-toed Eagles Circaetus gallicus and their reptilian prey during the breeding season in Dadia Forest (north-eastern Greece) // Journal of Applied Ecology, Vol. 35, No. 6: 821-828. – (En) /map/ – the abstract was mentioned before.

Bibliographical descriptions of Bernard Joubert‘s articles on Short-toed Eagle in the Alauda journal can be found on the Pascal and Francis Bibliographic DB, the abstracts (En) are represented below:

Here you can acquaint yourself with the work on the wintering of Short-toed Eagle and Booted Eagle in Spain:

…and with the abstract of an article about Greek Short-toed Eagles:
