Recorded Movement of a steppe eagle over 20 year period
11 March 2019
This map shows the movement of a Steppe eagle over a twenty year period. The bird had a tracker fitted in Russia and the solar device recorded right through to when the bird died twenty years later in the Valley of the Child in Saudi Arabia.
It is fascinating to note just how far this eagle travelled over twenty years of life, crossing many countries in the process and avoiding crossing the sea, seemingly at all costs.
