We continue to study nesting sites for birds of prey.
The target species we are studying are:
- golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)
- egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus)
- bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus)
- eurasian griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus).
However, nests of other species and data on their activity are also found and recorded during the surveys.
Thanks to cooperation with the RA Ministry of Environment and the Khosrov Forest State Reserve, this time our research team visited the Khosrov section of the Khosrov Forest State Reserve to study nesting sites of birds of prey. Our colleague from Israel, Walter Neser also joined the work.
During the surveys, in addition to counting nest sites, the following species were observed during flight:
- Bearded vulture (Aquila chrysaetos)
- Booted eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus)
- Short-toed snake eagle (Circaetus gallicus)
- Eurasian griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus)
- Bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus)
- Cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus)
- Common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)
- Saker falcon (Falco cherrug)
- Long-legged buzzard (Buteo rufinus)
- Common buzzard (Buteo buteo):
