Short-toed eagles also spring!

 

As part of a collaboration agreement with the Aix Marseille Metropolitan Area, photo traps were installed on the nests of short-toed eagles just before they returned from migration by a team from the IMBE (Alexandre Million (Popco team) Lenka Brousset and Christian Marschal (Observatories and Experimentation Unit)). These will be recovered at the end of the season and four chicks should be fitted with high-resolution GPS beacons to study their migration behaviour over the Sahara desert.
