Besides the regular check of mountain Imperial Eagle territories where we decided not to ring chicks years ago, I spent two days with Márton Horváth, Imre Fatér, Tamás Szitta and other colleagues in the lowlands in mid-June ringing eagles and collecting food remains and feathers. As in the previous season Attilla Bereczky, a professional tree feller, climbed the trees at extremely fast pace and sent down eaglets to be ringed in a rucksack. This can significantly shorten the length of time and disturbance around the nest.
It was excellent to be at nests that I have known for a long time but usually visit only during ringing. Not to mention the joy of handling eagles!
Thanks to everyone for the company!
