Next representative of the lesser spotted eagle is leaving our Centre. It was another victim of poison. The eagle was found near Przemysl. According to research conducted by our friend Przemyslaw Kunysza, the ornithologist, Przemysl stands in the way of migration of these beautiful birds, and many related species, which fly directly over our city. Every spring, they travel the European continent from the area around Turkey to Scandinavia. This is confirmed by the GPS monitoring system. An extensive network of monitoring is to keep the track of the location of single individuals and progress in their annual journey (walking tour you can see: Here). Chosen representatives have special transmitters attached to their position locator. Our beautiful bird, unfortunately will reach his destination with a small delay. This is not the first and not the last injured bird affected of various pesticides. Toxins hit directly the muscles of the wings and legs. Also the struck esophagus completely prevented him from eating food. Only the quick intervention saved the lesser spotted eagle from death in terrible agony. It has been noticed by the casual passers who have not remained indifferent to seeing his fight for life. Lesser went directly to us. Fast, professional help makes the predator fully recover within two weeks. He regained his freedom on extensive fields. He gained independence on extensive fields. We specially chose an area on the north of Przemysl so that he could continue his planned travel not having again to fly above the city. He spread his wings and then quickly and firmly rose up instinctively being pointed in the direction of Roztoczanski National Park.
