Well, this is the last one for this season. We already have with us the last one of the Bonelli’s Eagles born in captivity in 2015. To bring him home, we have travelled recently to the breeding centre specialized in this species in Ardèche (France), where Jean-Claude Mourgues and his family and friends received us with open arms.

Owing to satellite monitoring of the birds released in the Life Bonelli Project, we know that some of them ventured within the territory of the only spawning pair formed in the Tramuntana Mountains of Mallorca (the female Bel and the male Vent). It is a risky manoeuvre since the Bonelli’s Eagles defend tenaciously their territory against others of their species. In this respect, direct observations are much more interesting than the “cold” GPS tracking since they help us to know more about the behaviour of the birds. Here are two examples.

Escorca, a Bonelli’s Eagle born during the present breeding season, has grown a lot and is about to fly for the first time away from the nest. On May 15, a team of Life Bonelli and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Quality and Nature (Magrama) descended to the nest in the Tramuntana Mountains of Mallorca to collect biological samples and mark her.
