\"\"Throughout the year Greater Spotted Eagles are a \u201cwetland\u201d species.\u00a0 On the breeding grounds they nest in forests that are close to rivers and streams and wetlands.\u00a0 They hunt wetland species.\u00a0 Where they breed in agricultural areas, those have generally been transformed from wetter habitats to farmland.\u00a0 On migration they also favour wetland habitats, and sometimes stopover in wetlands and near lakes and rivers to hunt and rest.\u00a0 On the wintering grounds they also settle in wetland areas, like Al Jahra Reserve<\/a> in Kuwait, where our study is focussed.<\/p>\n

Since December 2018 we have been fitting Greater Spotted Eagles<\/a> that winter at Al Jahra<\/a> with GPS-GSM satellite tracking devices, and following them throughout the year.\u00a0 Early tracking suggested to us that birds that arrive at Al Jahra from migration, settle and spend the winter there.\u00a0 That suggestion held (mostly) true for the first two years.\u00a0 Birds that arrived in autumn, settled, then left on migration in spring.\u00a0 As we have fitted more Greater Spotted Eagles with tracking devices and studied them for more years, we are now learning that not all birds that arrive at Al Jahra<\/a>, stay for the whole of the winter.<\/p>\n

Figure 1 is a map of the movements of a Greater Spotted Eagle (8752) caught in December 2022 at Al Jahra (1).\u00a0 Since capture it has also spent considerable time at two other locations (2 and 3), and a few less visited locations.\u00a0 Of course, it has also transited between those sites.<\/p>\n

Figure 2 zooms in on Al Jahra<\/a>, and one can see that even there the eagle frequents some places more than others, coastal areas where it feeds, and the trees where it roosts.\u00a0 Figure 3 zooms into area 2, which is the area of the Al Abdaliah Oasis<\/a>, a nature reserve managed by the Kuwait Oil Company.\u00a0 Figure 4 zooms in to an area just outside Sabah Al Ahmed Township, where lakes and ponds occur.\u00a0 What do these places have in common?\u00a0 Well, the answer is WETLAND!.<\/p>\n
