9-4-2023 MONTAVERNER, VALENCIA - SHORT TOED SNAKE EAGLE (Circaetus gallicus)
Its prey is mostly reptiles, mainly snakes, but also some lizards.Sometimes they become entangled with larger snakes and battle on the ground.Occasionally, they prey on small mammals up to the size of a rabbit, and rarely birds and large insects.
This eagle is generally very silent. On occasions, it emits a variety of musical whistling notes. When breeding, it lays only one egg. It can live up to 17 years.
The short-toed snake eagle has suffered a steep decline in numbers and range in Europe and is now rare and still decreasing in several countries due to changes in agriculture and land use. It needs protection.[citation needed] In the middle and far eastern part of its range, this species is not yet threatened.
