PISMENNYI K. 2017. Northern Ukraine

07.05 A16 : this Short-toed Eagle male has taken the aggressive posture at his perch early in the morning; perhaps, he is seeing old local male D11

07.05 A16 : his inverted look

07.05 A16 : one facial expression

07.05 A16 : another facial expression

07.05 A16 : this is not a cry; he is going to drop a pellet

07.05 A16 : what's a bird without morning toilette?

07.05 A16 : a look at the ground, a small Grass Snake was there

04.06 A16 : the same male at the same roost in the morning again, just a month later; this high pine with the dead top is located at a distance of about 450 m from their nesting tree

04.06 A16 : let's go to hunt!

11.06 K11 : this Short-toed Eagle male has caught probably Coronella austriaca, rare and protected snake in Ukraine; it happened not far from their current nest at a dry and sandy felling site

28.06 B11 : old male Short-toed Eagle in flight at his breeding site

28.06 B11 : he was staying at his nest with the chick while his new mate was absent and now is about to go hunting again

07.05 A13 : this old and big female is one of the most unsuccessful breeding Short-toed Eagles

04.06 A16: the male is aiming at a high pine to perch on

04.06 A16: his bellicose posture addresses to a Red-backed Shrike

04.06 A16: morning meditation at a perch...

04.06 A16: this roost was also used by his mate, the female A13

04.06 A16: the typical contour of a roosting Short-toed Eagle

28.06 A17: some features of her plumage indicates her relatively young age

23.07 A17: the female is circling over the breeding site after giving prey to her chick at the nest; she has proved to be a good hunter

23.07 A17: she has a pretty recognizable face

23.07 A17: relatively thin dark bars of her primaries, is this an individual or age-related feature?

23.07 A17: the 4th primary looks like one of the longest, although it is just unusually turned out

30.07 A16: that Short-toed Eagle male is an active hunter as well

17.08 B17: the young bird is yet not flying well

20.08 C17: this fledgling of Short-toed Eagles B11 and A17 is flying even worse, it prefers to be on the ground at the nesting site

27.08 B17: the training flights over the forest has begun

03.09 B11: this old male Short-toed Eagle is a reliable supplier of food for his juvenile

03.09 B11: more "strict style" of his plumage indicates old Short-toed Eagle

03.09 A17: his mate still takes her part in feeding and regularly visits the nesting site

03.09 C17: this young Short-toed Eagle fast learns to fly as well

03.09 C17: it will be at the territory of the pair till the end of September together with its father B11
