We monitored 42 territories during 4 years.
We expected that their diet varied according with land use in their territory, but it didn't.
However, elevation was a powerful predictor of their diet.

Our last paper got published in @jzoology.bsky.social
Using camera traps in the nests we showed that Golden eagles changed their diet with elevation rather than land use. π¦

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

In #XVIRUSI in Portugal I presented the differences estimating Golden Eagles' diet by prey remains vs camera traps. #RaptorResearch
Prey remains overestimate big prey (e.g. roe deer) and camera traps detect better reptiles. @paellalab.bsky.social

We have had a lucky start of the spring season. Yesterday we tagged an adult territorial male in the north of Spain. A beautiful and combative individual. We named him Gaitzarra aka the bad guy.

This is a 3 year old golden eagle juvenile that we captured last January in Toledo's mountains while we were trying to capture an adult female.
Due to his movements these two last months I would bet he is her son.

One of our gardeners in #arboretodemontes deserves a huge shoutout for this thoughtful initiative! ππ± He has placed these signs to protect wild bee nesting areas (genus Lasioglossum) in our garden. These bees are harmless and vital for pollination (πgracias Nacho ππππ) #Bees #montes @upm.es
