We know Greater Spotted Eagle 6488 quite well.\u00a0 She is our old friend. We first caught her at Al Jahra on 15 January 2020.\u00a0 Figure 1 shows all her movements.\u00a0 Since then we have tracked her as she moved between summering and wintering areas.\u00a0 That migration has followed more or less the same path every year, one that passes SE of the Caspian Sea.\u00a0 Her journeys have her flying over Kuwait, Iraq, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Russia. Every winter she has returned to Al Jahra, and spent the whole season there being seen and photographed often by the Kuwait Environmental Lens team and others.<\/p>\n

Figure 1. Greater Spotted Eagle 6488 movements during Jan 2020 – April 2023.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In her first summer after capture (2020), 6488 wandered widely over Kazakhstan and Russia, indicating that she was not a breeding bird and did not have a territory.\u00a0 Click \u0647\u0646\u0627<\/a> to read about that summer. We suspected this would be the case because when she was caught she was an immature bird, and mostly it is adults that breed.\u00a0 In 2021 she settled into an area of south Russia, but her movements suggested that she did not move.\u00a0 Click \u0647\u0646\u0627<\/a> to read that story.\u00a0 In summer 2022 she returned to that same location and movement data indicated that she did indeed breed, and may have successfully reared chicks (Click \u0647\u0646\u0627<\/a>).\u00a0 Now in 2023 she has again returned to that same nesting location and we hope she will settle in and breed successfully.\u00a0 Figure 2 shows her movements between 1 March and 28 April 2023.\u00a0 It\u2019s still too early to guess at what she is doing exactly, but we are hopeful.\u00a0 This predictable returning to breed at the same location is called \u2018breeding site fidelity\u2019, and is a common feature of eagle ecology.<\/p>\n

Figure 2. Movements of a Greater Spotted Eagle during 1 March \u2013 19 April 2023. Red circle shows that this bird moved from Al Jahra to wetland areas in Iraq and returned during that period.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Many eagles also show \u2018winter site fidelity\u2019 in that they return year after year to the same location in winter.\u00a0 Indeed, this is what 6488 has done ever since we caught her.\u00a0 Although she has returned every year to Al Jahra, in some years she makes short journeys to other wetlands in Iraq and Iran.\u00a0 One can see these occasional movements in both figures (Red circle in Figure 2), with wintertime locations not being restricted only to Al Jahra, but sometimes being in Iran and Iraq.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
