The foreword of the magazine is dedicated by the editor-in-chief to this extraordinary bird of prey “lettre au Circaète Jean-Le-Blanc, cher Jean”.

The Short-toed Snake Eagle has suffered declines in the past, but populations have seemed to be stable since the late 20th century.

We will present at the Festival a new exhibition of our work realised for many years on the bird “snake eagle”.

They looked like the short toed Eagle Circaetus gallicus but I am not sure as they were flying very high – which is what Eagles are wont to do!

The Site is an important ecological corridor for many nationally threatened and endangered species such as the short-toed snake eagle Circaetus gallicus and the Eurasian lynx.

Throughout the year, the species that can be observed in the Reserve vary, although the most frequent are the booted eagle (Hiraaetus pennatus) or the Circaète Jean-le-Blanc (Circaetus gallicus).

This large pine tree is home to a large fauna, including the short-lived White-winged Circaète Jean-le-Blanc, the red squirrel that eats its seeds or the cicadas that in summer cymbal on its trunk or branches.
