Just a few words about a section dedicated to the subject of Sameh’s research “Agricultural influences on the ecology of the Short-toed Eagle (Circaetus gallicus) in the Judean slopes” /map/ on The Jerusalem Bird Observatory website.

The section, which can be rated as an independent site, includes such subsections as Gallery, Team, Research, Transmitters & Migration, About me and so on. You can find there notes and many photos illustrating the study development.

In 2002 Jean-Pierre Malafosse /map/ and Bernard Joubert /map/ managed to unionize French Short-toed Eagle lovers. We would like to point to in a sense the composite work that is known by the name of La Plume du Circaète – (Fr) {rough translation} and was realized in 2003 by the agency of the Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux (source – LPO Mission Rapaces page). Now the second pdf-file – La Plume du Circaète #4 – (Fr) {rough translation} is available too.

S. M. Zhyla‘s article about nesting of Short-toed Eagle in the Northern part of Zhytomyr Region (North of Ukraine):

• С. М. Жила, 1999 – Про гніздування змієїда (Circaetus ferox) на півночі Житомирщини [Notes on the Short-toed Eagle breeding in the North of Zhytomyr Region] // Поліському природному заповіднику – 30 років – Збірник наукових праць, В.1: 89-93 (Uk) /map/.
– The summary (En).

Also see below an extract from the work of V. T. Afanas’ev dedicated to ecology of Short-toed Eagle and Booted Eagle in the North of Sumy Region (north-eastern Ukraine) and in the South of Bryansk Region (Russia); and just take a look at the maps to get a notion about geographical location of the both authors’ research regions:

• В. Т. Афанасьев, 1997 – К экологии змееяда и орла-карлика на севере Сумской и юге Брянской областей [Ecology of Short-toed and Booted Eagles in the North of Sumy and the South of Bryansk Regions] // Заповідна справа в Україні, 3 (2): 57-59 (Ru) /map/.
– The summary (En).

Some links to V. Ivanovski‘s works concerning Short-toed Eagle ecology in Northern Belarus /map/ (all contain summaries in English):

• В. Ивановский, 1992 – Экология гнездования змееяда в Белорусском Поозерье // Современная орнитология: 56-69. – (Ru) (translatable form) (source – website of the Working Group on Raptors and Owls of Northern Eurasia).

• В. Ивановский, 2002 – Змееяд в Северной Беларуси: настоящее и будущее // Беркут, 11 (2): 158-164. – (Ru) (translatable form).
(source – website of the Ukrainian journal of ornithology BERKUT). The summary of this work can be found on the World Working Group on Birds of Prey and Owls website: The Short-toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus in Belarus (En) – sixth article. At the same time, mark the first article on the list, that is an abstract of the oral report of another researcher: Dimitris E. Bakaloudis – Aspects of the Ecology of the Short-toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus in Dadia Soufli Forest, NE Greece (En) /map/.
