One more general description (Ru) (composed, in this case, by Igor Karyakin) is located in the subsection named Articles on Species.

Here you can find some selection of photos of Short-toed Eagles on Fotonatura.org gallery. Birds are close (even very close) and distant, sitting and flying. Single and companion portraits are represented on the site with a lot of comments (Es) on them. Resolution of the images is about 600×400 px. The content of this gallery is being updated quite often, just check it from time to time.

Here you can acquaint yourself with the work on the wintering of Short-toed Eagle and Booted Eagle in Spain:
