Our Turkish colleagues from the Doğa Araştırmaları Derneği DAD (Nature Research Society) shared material presenting field activities carried out as part of a joint LIFE project.
The presented activities include habitat monitoring and observations conducted in the wintering areas of the Greater Spotted Eagle. Such activities are crucial for better understanding the migration routes and threats faced by this rare bird of prey.
Supplementary feeding of greater spotted eagles is also an important element of conservation efforts. This occurs during periods of limited natural food availability, particularly in winter or in areas with transformed habitats. Providing an additional food source increases the birds’ chances of survival and affects their condition. This can also translate into higher breeding success in subsequent seasons.
As the wintering period ends, greater spotted eagles gradually leave their wintering grounds and begin migrating to their breeding grounds. In the near future, Biebrza National Park in Poland, primarily as a continuation of the LIFE project, will begin intensive conservation efforts on the breeding grounds.
